Hello 1983

Even in front of many reporters who came to interview, Ali even dragged Liu Qingshan to a boxing match.

This is of course not a real fight, but just to show Ali's current physical condition.

The reporters present were also very excited. Anyone from this country knows what Ali was like before.

But now, the boxing champion seems to have returned to his peak. All of this is simply amazing!

So the focus of the interview shifted to the dumb grandfather and his medical team.

In addition, someone dug out a report that a few days ago, a pregnant woman was anesthetized with acupuncture, which also made the dumb grandpa's team all the limelight.

Liu Qingshan also understands the principle of accepting as soon as it is good, and said that the visa of the medical team is about to expire, and he will return to China immediately, and wait for the right time to have friendly exchanges.

As a result, they immediately received an invitation from the Immigration Bureau, hoping that the dumb grandpa and others could accept the green card here.

This country is so realistic, they have always been very generous to useful people.

If it were most people, they would be happy to die, because this is exactly what they expected.

But for the dumb grandpa, that thing is really useless.

A few days before he set off home, Liu Qingshan watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games with everyone at Hurricane Film and Television.

When Lao Cui sang the classic "Hand In Hand" with South Korean singers, the whole world cheered.

Afterwards, this song "Hand in Hand" was also rated as the greatest song in the history of the Olympic Games, and many people even suggested that it should be regarded as the anthem of the Olympic Games.

With this song, Lao Cui also officially became an international singer.

At the same time, the songwriter: Mountain Liu was also praised wildly.

Liu Qingshan even received an invitation from the organizing committee to attend the opening ceremony, but he had to preside over the overall situation here during this time, so he had no time to do it alone.

"Oh, I wish I had the chance to sing the Olympic theme song too."

Maria, the leader of Hurricane Girls, made such an oath in front of the TV.

"You will." This is Liu Qingshan's answer to her.

After watching the opening ceremony, Chambers invited everyone to go to the bar to continue the carnival, which can be regarded as seeing Liu Qingshan off.

Chambers and the others also followed Liu Qingshan's advice and bought several thousand dollars worth of stocks at the beginning of Earth Online's listing.

Then the stock price suddenly doubled dozens or even hundreds of times, and they all made a lot of money.

The one who made the most money was Maria, because the girl used all the dividends from the tape to buy stocks.

The reason is simple, she trusts her boss.

The result of this kind of trust is that this girl has directly become a little rich woman worth nearly ten million.

Liu Qingshan thinks this is not bad, at least the Hurricane girls don't have to do things they shouldn't do for money in the future.

The next day, Liu Qingshan and the dumb master left Los Angeles and flew to Boston.

In a private hospital in Boston, Liu Qingshan gently opened a ward. He and his master came here to visit Mr. Wang An.

After entering the ward, he handed the flowers to the nurse. Liu Qingshan saw a skinny old man lying on the bed.

The old man closed his eyes, giving people the feeling of a candle in the wind, as if the fire of life would be extinguished at any time.

Even though he used to be an all-powerful player in the mall, won the title of computer king, led Wang An Computer, and was able to fight against a behemoth like INM with his own strength, but the hero will also be late.

Moreover, the old man has a heavy Chinese mindset. He insisted that his son inherit his father's career and put his son in an incompetent position. This led to the meteoric fall of Wang An's computer.

Standing in front of the hospital bed, Liu Qingshan reminisces about the past, and his heart is full of sighs.

The nurse leaned against the old man's ear and said something softly, and the old man slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were cloudy and blank.

"Senior Wang, we are here to see you." Liu Qingshan bowed and said softly.

The old man's gaze finally focused on Liu Qingshan, stared at him for a long time, then nodded and shook his head again.

"I'm sorry, old man." Liu Qingshan bowed again to apologize.

The old man raised his palm with difficulty, and waved it lightly: "You don't need to apologize. It's better for Wang An's computer to be taken over by the Chinese than to fall into the hands of those foreigners."

Liu Qingshan felt his heart warm up: "Old man, my master is a Chinese medicine doctor, can I check your body for you?"

The old man shook his head slightly: "I have nothing else to ask for now, I just hope that after you take over the company, you will continue to keep the WANG brand. Can you promise me?"

Liu Qingshan nodded vigorously: "I will, because this brand is also the pride of our Chinese!"

Chapter 712 One Emperor and One Courtier

The headquarters building of Wang An Computer Company welcomed the new chairman Liu Qingshan.

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

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

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 track, after he took office, he quickly wiped out Wang An Computer's hundreds of millions of dollars in debt.

However, the building is about to collapse, and it cannot be saved by one's own efforts. Wang An Computer declared bankruptcy in [-].

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 said softly: "Wang, I will not make you down, I will only make you more glorious, and you will become the real king in the industry!"

The surrounding employees were all moved by it.

Their feelings are actually very complicated. On the one hand, they have feelings for their old club in their hearts.

On the other hand, they are 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 [-], and it was definitely a top-level large company.

It was in this anxiety that the company ushered in Liu Qingshan, the new president.

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

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

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

In the laboratory, there are hundreds of top computer experts, and the annual cost of feeding these experts is several hundred million.

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

Apart from the unqualified heirs, the biggest problem that contributed to the decline of Wang An Computer was the huge deviation in its business strategy.

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

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

However, in the mid-to-late 80s, the focus of computer development has shifted to simpler, more practical, and inexpensive office and home computers.

In this transformation, Wang An Computer did not seize the opportunity and was eliminated by the times, which is also reasonable.

A group of people came to the largest conference hall, a huge round table, where more than 40 executives of Wang An Computer are currently sitting.

Liu Qingshan's eyes slowly looked around:

"Everyone, good morning everyone. I am very happy to meet so many elites in the industry. This proves that our Wangan Computer Company has a resurgent talent pool. I hope we can work together."

No matter what the purpose was, the people present applauded politely.

Liu Qingshan nodded slightly, and continued: "Let me talk about personnel appointments."

Everyone present couldn't help but stand upright, because this is related to the jobs of each of them.

In fact, they are also somewhat psychologically prepared. The principle that one emperor and one courtier is applicable everywhere.

Liu Qingshan's eyes first fell on Jiang Renyi who was beside him: "This is Mr. Jiang Renyi, the newly established technical president of the company, 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, officially appointed as the vice president of the company, mainly responsible for product sales."

Miller also stood up and bowed. Although he is the CEO, he is only an agent. Now that the boss has changed, it would be nice to get a vice president.

As for the president of the company, everyone thought that at the beginning of the company's change, the boss must be concurrently in charge.

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

People started to applaud, all looking at Mr. John.

"Is it me?" John was a little puzzled, he is just a sales manager now, how did he become the president all of a sudden?

Liu Qingshan also smiled and applauded: "Yes, Mr. John, we all believe in your ability."

It is estimated that anyone would believe this John Chambers if he knew what happened behind him.

After Wang An Computer went bankrupt, Mr. John joined a company called "Cisco". At that time, Cisco had an annual profit of only 7000 million US dollars and a market value of about [-] million US dollars.

After John became the president of Cisco, within five years, Cisco's sales revenue reached more than 120 billion, and its market value exceeded 5000 billion US dollars.

John is also honored as "Mr. Internet" by his peers.

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

After being confused for a while, John was invited to sit next to Liu Qingshan, and he quickly recovered his composure, and a feeling of dying for his confidant was born in his heart.

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

Liu Qingshan looked around again, then smiled and said: "The personnel in other positions have not changed for the time being."

It can be clearly felt 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 link:

"Next, let's discuss the company's development strategy, because I read the financial statements for the first half of the year, and the company lost [-] million yuan."

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

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

This is also the reason why Liu Qingshan puts the appointment of personnel in the first place.

These executives all started to think about it, trying to find a practical solution to make 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.

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

"I think that the company should lay off workers on a large scale. I have investigated the personnel organizations of various factories. At least one-third of the workers and managers can be laid off. In this way, it will save a lot of money."

An employee who can save money for the boss is of course a good employee.

But Liu Qingshan, the boss, doesn't think so: layoffs are a sign of incompetence, and large-scale layoffs prove that you are not far from Huangpuzi.

Possibly inspired by Miller, another department manager immediately spoke up:

"There is also our company's laboratory, which is too large. The company is mainly dragged 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. Many large companies later will invest 20.00% to [-]% of their profits in research and development.

The crux of Wang An's computer is not in the laboratory. It is only 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 hasn't defined his position yet.

Liu Qingshan smiled: "John, you are the one with the most say here."

In the meeting room, there was a chuckle, and the atmosphere felt a lot lighter.

Chambers smiled. This guy is quite handsome, and he has good taste in clothes. He is a very attractive man.

He said, "I used to work in sales at IBM for several years, so let's talk about the differences between the two companies."

"Although they all operate 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, does our company's business direction need to be adjusted?"

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard it: You are a talent, you grasped the essence of the problem at once.

Subsequent developments have proved that personal computers are 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 can be successfully transformed, then there will be nothing wrong with Microsoft, and I will not become a current technology star, or become a teacher and lawyer somewhere.

However, many executives shook their heads for the idea proposed by John. In their view, large-scale commercial computers are more technological and can demonstrate the strength of the company.
