"I'm not so naive. Forbes wanted to put me on the rich list, but I refused. Do you think I would care about these names?"
Bill asked in confusion: "Since you don't care about these names, why do you want to reduce your holdings of Microsoft stocks?"
"Don't you see? Smartphones are on the rise." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "In the past, people needed a computer for entertainment and work. In the future, a considerable number of people will only need a mobile phone for entertainment and work. The market share of Windows is increasing.
Encountering challenges, Microsoft will go downhill in the future."
"Of course I can see it, so Microsoft is actively transforming." Bill laughed and scolded: "Damn smartphones, people really love and hate them. And the iOS and Android operating systems."
"I have a suggestion. When the two of us talk, can we use more civilized words?"
Bill flatly refused: "Of course not. Don't think that I don't know that your company launched the Android system. Your layout is far-reaching. You bought out the copyrights of Linux and Unix when they first came out, but they are still popular all over the world."
Free promotion, I laughed at you at the beginning. In the words of your flower growers, this is called mantis blocking the car, but I never imagined that your goal will be twenty years later."
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "There is a saying in the art of war of our flower growers. If you don't plan for the overall situation, you can't plan for a region. If you don't plan for everything, you can't plan for a moment."
"I know you have five thousand years of civilization." Bill complained: "Don't show off the wisdom left by your ancestors in front of me."
"Strictly speaking, we actually have a civilization of 10,000 years, plus or minus five thousand years." Jiang Hua laughed loudly: "It's just that there are some periods where we haven't dug up evidence. After all, the archeology of our flower growers is not as casual as Western archeology.
"
"Damn it, stop showing off your civilization." Bill said impatiently: "If possible, I would rather be one of you than be forced by some people to become a member of a nation that has been wandering for two thousand years.
Members.”
"You place more emphasis on bloodline, and you can't change it."
Bill said in a very serious tone: "I can solemnly declare to you that Microsoft is already actively transforming. It may be lonely for a while, but it will not be lonely forever. We will regain our glory."
"I believe this." Jiang Hua said cheerfully: "How about I show you a clear path, and you can study artificial intelligence."
"Damn it, no wonder Steve said you are a genius, your ideas coincide with mine."
"You are indeed a genius." Jiang Hua praised: "But I have to point out that there is one thing you did wrong."
Bill asked curiously: "What did you do wrong?"
"The first thing is that you have outsourced a lot of programmer work to Asan. Although their institute of technology is relatively famous around the world, their mechanical and rigid assembly line operations will stifle the flexibility of the operating system in the market and increase the
There are a lot of system bugs."
"What about the second thing?"
"As president, Steve has always done a relatively conscientious job, but the board of directors has been promoting Nadella recently, which I am not very optimistic about."
"That guy is also a genius. Ever since he joined Microsoft in 1992, his work has been outstanding."
Jiang Hua sighed and said: "I understand this is a trend. Now the entire Silicon Valley is hiring Ah San on a large scale, thinking that they are more reliable than the Chinese. Then I can only say that you don't understand Ah San's nature at all."
Bill asked with interest: "What kind of nature does Ah San have that you despise so much?"
Jiang Hua said in an extremely contemptuous tone: "You know us. If we are 80% sure about something, we will say 50% or 60%. This not only makes us appear more modest, but also increases some error tolerance and makes up for ourselves.
opportunities, so we can accomplish anything we want to do.”
"That's right." Bill said with approval: "To be honest, I still prefer this attitude, but this attitude is not popular in ugly countries. We need confident people and a confident attitude."
"That's right. They regard our modesty as cowardice." Jiang Hua said disdainfully: "What kind of humanity is Ah San? When they are only 20% sure, they dare to say that they can leave this matter to them 100%.
Success, maybe Nadella is really a genius, but in my conservative estimation, his ability is at least twice exaggerated."
"I don't know much about what you're talking about, but I will observe it carefully." Bill said cautiously: "The board of directors also has a strict process for selecting talents. Nadella can be favored by the board of directors, so he is naturally outstanding.
.”
"Okay, let's put aside Nadella's ability." Jiang Hua continued: "Let me tell you another fact, Jiang Qiuyun, that is, Ah San is particularly united in foreign countries."
"Are you jealous?" Bill asked with a smile: "I have heard a saying. It is that you three flower growers are like three worms together, and each flower grower is like a dragon. What it means is that you don't like to unite.
.”
"You didn't understand the point of what I said." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "When a San enters the company and holds an important position, he will then focus the company's recruitment on his own compatriots, and soon you will
You will find that your company's management will be filled with many Asans, and most of them are good at bragging rather than doing practical work."
"It doesn't matter. As long as the company's equity is still in my hands, I can still control the company." Bill said without hesitation: "Do you know why you flower growers are not welcomed by the management in Silicon Valley? It's because when you
You always want to jump out and start your own business. This seems to be engraved in the DNA of your countrymen. You are always unwilling to lag behind others. You especially want to be your own boss and have the final say. The problem is that sometimes they will take away customers and scientific research teams.
, which is a loss that no laboratory or company can afford."
"Of course I understand. How have I, the flower grower, ever been weaker than others in my life?"
"So they are naturally unpopular with the board of directors. No one wants to go through all the hard work to train a successor. After just a few days of work, they say they want to resign and start their own business."
Jiang Hua smiled: "As a friend, let me give you a piece of advice. You can reuse Ah San, but you must do a good job in psychological construction. Their mysterious operations will sometimes lead you into a pit."
"Relax, my friend, Microsoft has the most mature management system in the world." Bill said confidently: "In the face of a complete and mature system, the power of an individual is very little."
