The industry and the media were extremely surprised.
The famous American economist Lauren Truman expressed his views on Wang Lie's succession as the president of Wang An Computer Company on ABC TV, "David S. Landes once wrote a book called "The Greatest Family Business in the World". The book summarizes that successful family businesses are basically distributed in three fields: banking, automobile industry, and traditional energy industry.
In these fields, the prestige and social influence of the family can be passed on, and the resources owned by the family will not be easily taken away by competitors.
Those legendary patriarchs, they were brave entrepreneurs who did well on their own and created a kingdom in the end. And their successors can keep the family business going as long as they don't make big mistakes.
The IT industry, where Wang An's company is located, is a rapidly developing field. Here, those who are at the level of ordinary people will be quickly eliminated. As far as I know, Wang Lie joined Wang An Computer Company as soon as he graduated and was in charge of the company's research department, but his performance was mediocre. Over the years, none of the more than ten products he announced were successful!
Obviously, Wang Lie's ability is too poor to be the president of Wang An Computer Company!
Dr. Wang An brought the traditional Chinese family management method into European and American enterprises, and he must face a huge failure! "
Lauryn Truman's comments were endorsed by countless people and reprinted in newspapers.
"Wall Street Journal": "Wang An Computer Company no longer has the enterprising spirit of the past, and has become a conservative and outdated enterprise!!!"
"New York Times": "Dr. Wang An's cronyism will inevitably lead to the decline of Wang An Computer Company!"
…
Public opinion in the industry is not optimistic about Wang An Computer Company. Many directors and executives within the company have objected to it. The stock price of Wang An Computer Company also fell sharply.
However, even so, Wang Lie became the president as he wished.
Not long after, Wang An Computer Company held a press conference. At the press conference, Wang Lie was in high spirits, as if he was the president. When interviewed by media reporters, he said arrogantly: "The personal computer industry is developing rapidly, and Wang An Computer Company is also preparing to enter this industry. The research and development capabilities of computer companies will definitely develop the fastest and strongest personal computers. At that time, major computer manufacturers will be afraid!!!”
"As far as I know, the computer developed by Wang An Computer Company is not compatible with IBM-PC?" the reporter asked.
"Wang An Computer Company disdains to associate with IBM, so our company's products are never compatible with IBM-PC products!!!" Wang Lie said very conceitedly.
The reporters were stunned, feeling that Wang Lie was so rude and stupid.
"Excuse me, IBM-PC has opened up corresponding technical standards, which has made a large number of PC-compatible machine manufacturers flourish, and these PC-compatible machine manufacturers have actually become IBM's loose and powerful alliance, revolving around IBM-PC and IBM-PC compatibility. The application software of the computer has been developed one after another. Why are you still so confident?" The reporter asked again.
Wang Lie replied dismissively: "For many years, IBM has been the overlord of the computer industry, and many companies have succumbed to it, but Wang An Computer is not afraid! We will even beat it in some areas!" said At this point, Wang Lie paused, his voice raised a few decibels, and he seemed very proud! "In the field of personal computers, I also believe that with the strength of Wang An Computer, IBM will be able to defeat IBM! Please wait and see!"
"Wait and see??"
In front of the TV, Li Zetian, who was watching the live broadcast of the press conference, couldn't help laughing playfully, "Then I really have to wait and see!"
Dongfang Yuqin couldn't help but say: "Wang An is proud and conceited, and Wang Lie is the same, but he does not have the talent and ability of his father. When Wang An computer company is handed over to him, I am afraid the building will collapse! It's a pity that Wang An built it all his life. The legend of the business empire has just fallen!"
Li Zetian looked at it very openly, and said lightly: "There is no eternal empire where the sun never sets! Any company will have its ups and downs, Wang An Computer is like this, and other companies are like this."
"Yeah." Dongfang Yuqin nodded, "By the way, Mr. Li, I have already ordered you to arrange for the headhunting company to recruit talents from Wang An Computer Company."
"Well, that's good!" Li Zetian laughed. "In Wang An Computer Company, there are many people who dislike Wang Lie. Resignation is a matter of time. We will take the initiative to prevent these talents from draining and going to other companies!"
…
Wang Lie did not inherit Wang An's talent management skills, and did not arrange the company's three major research and development pillars - Kaerke, Kaublau and Sgar. Originally, Wang An adopted the method of "separating horses and raising horses", letting them each be in charge of a research and development team to compete with each other to promote the development of the company, but Wang Lie emphasized internal cooperation and unified the thinking of the three of them, but this was simply impossible. , which resulted in a lot of conflict between the three.
…
"Hello, Kaulke, I'm an employee of a headhunting company. I heard that you didn't live well at Wang An Computer Company, why don't you join another company? Chronos Li values you very much, you might as well consider Sun Microsystems!"
…
"Kaublau, hello, Kaulke has moved to Sun Microsystems, are you still willing to stay in Wangan Computer Company? The current Wangan Computer Company is no longer the former Wangan Computer Company, such a large company actually Can you bear to let someone with average ability point fingers at you? Chronos Li is the real good boss, he appreciates your talent very much, and hopes you can join Sun Microsystems!"
…
"Hello, Sgar, I'm an employee of the headhunting company. Kaulke and Kablau have joined Sun Microsystems. As the three major heads of the R&D department of Wang An Computer Company, would you like to stay here alone? "
Just in the first month that Wang Lie took over as president, Kaulke was poached by Li Zetian, followed by Kaublau and Sgar. The three major R&D leaders of Wang An Computer Company joined Sun Microsystems one after another, and at the same time they took away a group of elite talents. As a result, Wang An Computer's R&D force plummeted.
Wang Lie didn't care about the loss of talents at first, and he couldn't stop it. He thought, anyway, the company has a lot of talent reserves, even if some people are lost, the company will not hurt.
Wang Lie is now thinking about how to make the company make more money and increase his performance after taking office in order to convince everyone. This is also the most favorable counterattack against public opinion questioning his ability!
In terms of marketing, the service fee for replacing software necessary to maintain the operation of the equipment has been greatly increased, that is, no matter who buys a mainframe or minicomputer from Wang An Computer Company, he must pay the service fee of 5,000 US dollars in advance. The fee is only $1000. On top of that, the relationship with the dealers soured, and when the dealers called Wang An's engineers for technical questions, they charged $175 each time.
In Wang Lie's first month in office, Wang An Computer's revenue has soared.
Wang Lie didn't realize the company's crisis at all, instead he was complacent and thought, "Now you can see how good I am. After I took over as president, the company's revenue has increased by tens of millions of dollars compared to the previous month!! !"
Li Zetian was stunned, and was shocked by Wang Lie's various behaviors of killing chickens and taking eggs.
"Fuck, it's really awesome, it turns out that the prodigal son is made like this!!!"
After Wang Lie did this, the users of Wang An Computer Company complained a lot, and many users abandoned it. From the second month, the performance of Wang An Computer Company began to decline sharply.
The employees of the company expressed their dissatisfaction, and the media began to advocate that Wang An Computer Company would go bankrupt!
Wang Lie felt nervous at this time, but he insisted: "Wang An Computer Company is a big company with an annual revenue of 3 billion US dollars, and it will never go bankrupt!"
Of course, Wang An Computer Co., Ltd. is so big that it will not go bankrupt in just a few months. What if it is another year, two years, or three years
