Goldfinger is a bit strange

Wang An Computer Company's headquarters building welcomed the new chairman Liu Qingshan.

A group of senior executives of the company, led by the acting CEO Miller, greeted him in front of the building.

Because of the failure some time ago, Wang Lie was dismissed from the position of chairman, and then a professional manager Mr. Miller was invited.

In fact, because of Liu Qingshan's intervention, the timeline of this matter was advanced by nearly a year.

Miller is indeed a talent. In the original development trajectory, after he took office, he quickly wiped out Wang An Computer's debt of hundreds of millions of dollars.

However, the building is about to collapse, and it cannot be saved by one's own strength. Wang An Computer still declared bankruptcy in 1992.

Liu Qingshan looked up at the huge LOGO on the company building. On the sky blue background, there were several huge letters: WANG.

Liu Qingshan whispered: "WANG, I will not let you decline, but will only make you more glorious. You will become the real king in the industry!"

The employees around were all moved.

Their mood was actually very complicated. On the one hand, they had feelings for their old employer.

On the other hand, they were also worried about being fired. After all, since the beginning of this year, the company has laid off a large number of employees due to poor management.

You know, when Wang An Computer Company was at its peak, the number of employees exceeded 30,000, and it was definitely a top-tier company.

It was in this uneasiness that the company welcomed Liu Qingshan, the new president.

But at least the first sentence they heard made them have a good impression of the new president.

Miller and other company executives surrounded Liu Qingshan and Jiang Renyi behind him and entered the building together.

This is just the company's headquarters building, and there are several supporting factories. The most amazing thing is that there is also the largest laboratory in the computer industry in the United States.

There are hundreds of top computer experts in the laboratory, and the annual expenditure just to support these experts is several hundred million.

The foundation laid by Mr. Wang An is really good.

In addition to the unqualified successors, the biggest problem that contributed to the decline of Wang An Computer is actually the huge deviation in business strategy.

Mr. Wang An has always believed that computers should take the high-end route and produce complex and sophisticated computers for large factories and enterprises.

This point was not wrong in the early stages of computer development.

However, in the mid-to-late 1980s, the focus of computer development has shifted to simpler, more applicable, and inexpensive office and home computers.

It is reasonable that Wang An Computer did not seize the opportunity of this transformation and was eliminated by the times.

The group came to the largest conference hall, where more than 40 executives of Wang An Computer sat at a huge round table.

Liu Qingshan looked around slowly:

"Good morning, everyone. I am very happy to see so many elites in the industry. This proves that our Wang An Computer Company has a re-emerging talent pool. I hope we can work together."

Regardless of the purpose, the people present still applauded politely.

Liu Qingshan nodded gently and continued: "Next, I will talk about personnel appointments."

Everyone present couldn't help but straighten their backs, because this was related to everyone's job.

In fact, they were all mentally prepared. The principle of "a new emperor appoints new ministers" is universal.

Liu Qingshan's eyes first fell on Jiang Renyi beside him: "This is Mr. Jiang Renyi, the company's newly appointed technical president, who is responsible for the company's technical research and development."

Jiang Renyi stood up and bowed slightly, and everyone applauded.

Liu Qingshan continued: "Mr. Miller is officially appointed as the company's vice president, mainly responsible for product sales."

Miller also stood up and bowed. Although he was the CEO, he was just an agent. Since the boss had changed, it would be good to be a vice president.

As for the company's president, everyone thought that at the beginning of the company's change, the boss must have taken on the position.

Liu Qingshan began to announce the third personnel appointment: "Mr. John Chambers is the new president of the company, in charge of the company's affairs. Everyone welcomes him."

People began to applaud, and their eyes were all looking at Mr. John.

"Is it me?" John was a little confused. He was just a sales manager now, how could he become the president all of a sudden?

Liu Qingshan also smiled and applauded: "That's right, Mr. John, we all believe in your ability."

If you know the experience of this John Chambers, everyone will believe it.

After Wang An Computer went bankrupt, Mr. John joined a company called "Cisco". At that time, Cisco's annual profit was only 70 million US dollars, and its market value was about 600 million.

After John became the president of Cisco, in five years, Cisco's sales revenue reached more than 12 billion, and its market value exceeded 500 billion US dollars.

John was also respected by his peers as "Mr. Internet".

Such a big guy, he certainly has the qualifications to be the CEO of Wang An Computer.

After a little confusion, John was invited to sit next to Liu Qingshan. He quickly regained his composure, and a feeling of "a man will die for his friend" emerged in his heart.

In fact, after Wang Lie took over the company, some executives have begun to resign one after another. John also had this idea, but now, this idea has completely disappeared.

Liu Qingshan looked around again, and then smiled and said: "There is no change in the personnel in other positions for the time being."

It was obvious that many people secretly let out a sigh of relief.

But there was no time for them to rejoice, Liu Qingshan quickly entered the next step:

"Next, let's discuss the company's development strategy, because I saw the financial statements for the first half of the year and the company lost 200 million."

"In other words, if we continue to follow our previous strategy, we will obviously continue to lose money, so now it is time to change."

Everyone nodded in unison. After their positions were temporarily stable, they all regarded themselves as members of this company.

This is why Liu Qingshan puts personnel appointments first.

These executives began to think about it, trying to find practical solutions to leave a good impression on the new boss.

Because they found that the new boss seemed to attach great importance to talents, just like John, who was directly promoted to CEO.

Mr. Miller, the original acting CEO, had obviously already studied the company's situation and had an improvement plan, so he was the first to speak:

"I think the company should lay off large-scale layoffs at the moment. I investigated the personnel organizations of various factories and found that at least one-third of the workers and managers can be laid off. This will greatly save costs."

Employees who can save money for their boss are of course good employees.

But Liu Qingshan, the boss, doesn't think so: layoffs are a sign of incompetence. Large-scale layoffs prove that you are not far from being a yellow shop.

Perhaps inspired by Miller, another department manager immediately spoke and said:

"And our company's laboratory is too huge. The company is mainly brought down by it. I think it should also be reduced on a large scale."

Liu Qingshan did not comment on this. In fact, the laboratory is the lifeblood of a company's sustainable development. Later, many large companies would invest 20 to 30% of their profits in research and development.

The crux of Wang An Computer's problem is not in the laboratory. It is just because the business is shrinking now that the laboratory is regarded as a drag.

"Can I express my thoughts?" A voice came from beside Liu Qingshan.

It is the new president, Mr. John Chambers, who obviously has not yet clearly defined his position.

Liu Qingshan smiled: "John, you have the most say here."

There was a burst of chuckles in the conference room, and the atmosphere felt much more relaxed.

Chambers smiled. This guy was quite handsome and tastefully dressed. He was a very charming man.

He said: "I used to work in sales at IBM for several years. Let me talk about the differences between the two companies."

"Although they both deal in computers, I think the routes are very different. We focus more on high-end, large-scale commercial computers."

"The two companies, IBM and Apple, mostly produce personal home computers."

"So I think our company's business direction needs to be adjusted?"

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this: What a talented person, he grasped the essence of the problem in one fell swoop.

Later developments proved that personal computers were the mainstream, and Wang An Computer Company was eliminated because it failed to seize the opportunity of this transformation.

Microsoft's Bill later commented: If Wang An Computer could transform successfully, Microsoft would have nothing to do with it, and I wouldn't be the technology star I am now, or be a teacher or lawyer somewhere.

However, many executives shook their heads at the idea proposed by John. In their view, large commercial computers had more technological content and could demonstrate the company's strength.

When disagreements arise, Liu Qingshan ultimately has to make the decision. He smiles and nods to John: "I think John's proposal is very good. Personal computers are the major trend of future development."

"Just like the Earth Network we operate, the number of users in the past two years has been on an upward trend. This proves that the number of personal computers is increasing rapidly, so our company must also quickly complete the transformation."

Jiang Renyi also added: "And we can advertise the company's computers and accessories on the Earth Network."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but beam with joy: The Earth Network is now very popular, and if we join forces, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

By the way, what former CEO Wang Lie wanted most was to get the Earth Network?

As a result, what Wang Lie failed to do was now easily solved.

"John, you and Jiang are responsible for this matter together and strive to launch our company's personal computers in the shortest possible time."

Liu Qingshan started the deployment work: "Finally, I will negotiate with IBM and strive to unify the specifications of computer spare parts."

"Boss, I have a different opinion." Someone suddenly interrupted Liu Qingshan.

The speaker was Jack, a veteran employee of the company, who had started a business with Wang An back then.

Liu Qingshan still gave him a lot of respect and nodded to indicate that he could speak.

Jack stood up excitedly: "Our company has been fighting IBM for more than ten years and has never given up."

"The WANG-1200 typewriter and WPS word processing system we developed once defeated IBM so much that it had to withdraw from the competition for office computers and switch to civilian computers."

Jack's face flushed, as if he had returned to the passionate era of the past. He waved his arms vigorously: "So we must never give in to those IBM bastards!"

Jack's words also attracted warm applause. Wang An Computer was once the leader in the industry. It was still powerful and had some domineering power.

Liu Qingshan also applauded. He was also proud of the company's past, but he knew more: we can't live in the past.

He was an experienced person and knew that the compatibility and unification of computer equipment was the general trend.

Unless you can unify the market, you can make rules, but this is impossible. The computer market is too big.

After the excited old Mr. Jack sat down, Liu Qingshan smiled and said:

"I am proud of the honors I have achieved in the past, but we are only negotiating with IBM, cooperating, not surrendering."

"This market is like a huge cake. No one can eat it alone, so we can only share it."

"Your cake plate is big, and my cake plate is small, which will cause conflicts."

"So we have to unify the standards. In the future, users can even assemble their own computers. They can use Intel's processors, our motherboards, IBM's sound cards and graphics cards, Apple's keyboards and mice, etc."

Liu Qingshan's words stunned everyone: Can computers still be played like this? Isn't it like children playing with building blocks?

"If we don't participate and use our own standards, then we don't even have the qualifications to enter, let alone play happily together."

Hearing the boss say this, everyone fell into thought. Their inherent pride made them want to refute the boss's proposition.

But reason told them: It seems that win-win cooperation is the right way.

"I totally agree." John was the first to express his opinion.

"I second that." Miller nodded in agreement. He was new here, so of course he wouldn't have so many prejudices.

Jack, the old employee just now, blushed and asked, "Boss, do we still want to develop our large commercial computers?"

Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded, "This is our advantage, why would we throw it away?"

"But if we want to invest in new projects, the funds..." Jack is also a technical person, so of course he knows that this will require a lot of expenses.

"Don't worry, I have already invested 200 million yuan in the company to start the personal computer project." Liu Qingshan said lightly.

Wow, a low exclamation sounded in the conference room.

They all knew that the new boss was rich, but they didn't expect him to be so generous.

The injection of this capital is more importantly a signal: it means that the new boss is not going to take over Wang An Computer and wait for a good price. Those investors on Wall Street all do this.

Now it seems that the employees don't have to worry, because the new boss is obviously here to develop the company.

Thinking of this, the executives present couldn't help but be refreshed.

Most of them are old employees of the company. They have witnessed the glory of Wang An Computer together and have an extremely deep affection for the company.

With the gradual recognition of the new boss, this feeling slowly transferred to Liu Qingshan.

"Boss, I have no opinion!"

Jack roared, and then sat back in his seat happily.

At this moment, Liu Qingshan could clearly feel that people's hearts were gathered again.

The earth is hazy, and there is a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim bloody rain.

The bustling streets in the past are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.

Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper is left, which cannot be distinguished from each other and is shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage is deeply stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fluff has long been soaked into wet red, full of gloomy weirdness.

The cloudy eyes seemed to have some resentment, looking at the mottled stones in front of him alone.

There, a figure was lying.

This was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, with ragged clothes and full of dirt, and a damaged leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his tattered coat from all directions, attacked his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog about 70 feet away from him, and occasionally vigilantly observed the surroundings.

It seemed that in this dangerous ruin, the slightest movement would instantly make it fly into the air.
