Chapter 672 Don’t cross the boundary! [Third update, first update]
In the conference room, Connery, CEO of Guge Company, had noticed the looks in the directors' eyes. After thinking for a while, he stood up and bowed to all the directors.
"Dear directors, I would like to apologize to all directors because I made a wrong judgment about Shanxing Company, which led to today's passive situation."
"but"
"It can be seen from Shanxing Company's announcement of the launch of the Guangyao system that Shanxing Company has made preparations in advance to fall out with our Guge Company."
"Whether we give them special policies or not, at a certain point, Shanxing will launch the Guangyao system and abandon our Android system."
After Connelly finished speaking, he looked around and found that the eyes of many directors had changed. What he said had an effect, and he secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"Connery, since things have already happened, blaming you can't change the reality."
"Solving the immediate problem is the main issue"
"The top three companies in the global mobile phone market no longer use the Android system. If the remaining Chinese mobile phone manufacturers also give up the Android system, our years of layout investment will be in vain."
"What I want to know now is how you plan to resolve this matter."
Crouch, the chief director, looked at Connery and asked these words. The other directors nodded together after hearing this. There is no point in blaming Connery now.
It is urgent to resolve this matter.
"Everyone, except for Xingling Group and Weiwei Group, which have their own mobile operating systems among Chinese mobile phone manufacturers, all other manufacturers use our Android system."
"as far as I know"
"Although Weiwei Group also has an artificial intelligence project team, their technology is very rudimentary and cannot apply artificial intelligence technology to mobile phone systems."
"The Xingling Group's technical strength is very strong, but it has a big weakness."
"The chairman of their company, Gao Jin, is too strong, and he is too young."
"I say this not because I doubt Gao Jin's ability, but because of the thinking of the people in China. People in China love face, so if the bosses of mobile phone manufacturers bow their heads to a young man like Gao Jin, many people will not be able to lose face."
"In order to prevent accidents, I will personally go to China in the near future to talk to these manufacturers and stabilize them for the time being so that they can continue to use our Android system."
"Our Android system has established a unique ecosystem in the world. They must continue to use our system in order to maintain the normal operation of the ecosystem and stabilize our market."
"This is on the surface, but secretly, I propose to acquire a certain mobile phone company."
"With our technical strength and a mature mobile phone company, one plus one is definitely greater than two. At that time, we will directly stop other manufacturers from using our new Android system."
"Gentlemen, artificial intelligence technology is not that simple. I can now proudly tell you something."
"We Guge are the second child, no one dares to be the boss"
"Even the current Xingling Group, their artificial intelligence technology is not as good as ours. The artificial intelligence technology used in the third-generation Starlight mobile phone is just an application."
"Our focus has always been on technology research and development and upgrading, not on application."
"When we shift our focus to applications, I don't believe that any company can be our opponent, not even Guoguo Company."
"In the field of artificial intelligence, we are well-deserved NO.1"
Connery said this very confidently, and all the directors nodded, recognizing Connery's words and having great confidence in Guge's artificial intelligence technology.
"Connery, don't be careless. The current market situation has changed, and the offense and defense are in different positions."
"I suggest you send a high-level official to China to get a feel for those people before formulating policies. I believe they will definitely put forward some conditions."
"Prepare a few more plans so that you can deal with it calmly if an emergency occurs."
Odom, the chief executive, watched Connery say these words and reminded Connery not to be careless and not wait for things to become irreversible before making changes.
The other directors all nodded. Connery, the CEO, was in charge of Guge Company, so he would definitely be unqualified for another company, lacking some flexibility and skill.
If it weren't for the lack of suitable personnel, in order to maintain instability within the company, Connery would not be allowed to become the company's CEO.
It can be seen from this incident at Mountain Star that Connery lacks experience and his methods of doing things are still too young.
"Thanks for the reminder, I will prepare it in advance," Connery said with a trademark smile on his face.
Odom smiled and said nothing, already seeing that Connery did not take his reminder seriously.
Many directors smiled and recognized this situation. They hoped that the matter would be resolved smoothly, otherwise, they would need to consider replacing the CEO.
Guge is too powerful and is an absolute technical master in several fields. Too many companies around the world need to look at Guge's face to act, so that a kind of arrogance has developed from top to bottom.
With this kind of mentality, once you meet an opponent with the same strength, you will definitely suffer.
Connery is no exception. He has been the CEO of Guge Company for two years. These two years have been very smooth, and basically he has not encountered any big storms.
Now remind Connery, Connery is unlikely to listen to it, just take it one step at a time, even if there is something wrong, I believe that with the strength of ancient songs, the matter can be completely settled.
Perhaps, this is the price of growth!
After talking about the serious business, the meeting adjourned after chatting for a while. The directors didn't stay much, and went straight downstairs and left in the car.
After sending all the directors away, the smile on Connelly's face disappeared, he regained his composure, turned around and went upstairs to his office, lit a cigarette and began to think.
Shanxing Company's move made Guge completely passive, and the aloof status that he had been able to hold on to in Diaoyutai, attack, retreat, and defend, was broken.
From a transcendent status to a dangerous situation in an instant.
Once the remaining mobile phone manufacturers in China also give up using the Android system, Guge Company's investment in mobile phone Android systems over the years will be completely wasted.
It might even cause the collapse of the larger ecosystem.
Although the directors didn't say much at the meeting just now, Connery already felt that the directors were a little dissatisfied with him.
If Shanxing Company had not been overly forced, the current passive situation would not have occurred.
I did this wrong, I was a little too impatient.
Connery can become the CEO of Guge, he is definitely not an idiot, he is definitely an elite.
When competing with others for the position of CEO, Connelly won after a lot of fighting. He had his own perspective on thinking about problems and his own unique way of doing things.
Summarizing mistakes to avoid making repeated mistakes is a good habit for Connery.
Time passed little by little, and there were already three cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of Connery. He put out the cigarette in his hand, raised his hand and pressed it aside.
The air purification system in the office started to activate, and within a short time, a convection was formed, sweeping away the cigarette smell in the room.
He raised his hand and pressed the speakerphone on the desk phone and said, "Ask Vice President Haynes to come see me." After saying that, he let go and leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.
The reason why Haynes was able to become the vice president of Guge Company was because of Connery. When Connery competed for president, Haynes was a supporter of Connery.
Each of the eight competitors has supporters around him. No matter who wins in the future, the supporters of the others will be swept away, leaving no one with no way out.
Haynes worked hard to support Connery at all costs, and was rewarded in the end, becoming the company's vice president.
In the past two years, Connery's focus has been within the company. He has successfully eliminated 80% of those who originally supported his opponents, and has successfully taken control of the company.
The reason why the remaining people did not clean up is because the directors have spoken, and the cleanup must be limited, and must not affect the normal operation of the company, and must not go over the limit!
"Dang Dang Dang" the knock on the door rang. Connelly opened his eyes, his face returned to its previous calmness, he looked at the office door and said "Come in".
The door was pushed open, and Haynes pushed the door open and came in. Connery had a smile on his face, pointed to the chair in front of him, motioned for Haynes to sit down and said.
He stood up and went aside to make two cups of coffee and brought them over. The two of them drank coffee and talked about things.
"That's the thing. I need you to go to China and make sure to stabilize those mobile phone manufacturers." Connery informed Haynes about the matter and then stated his request.
"Boss, I suggest you wait and talk to them."
"Now that things have developed, I believe they are already thinking about how to negotiate with us. They also know very well that we can't do without them now, not that they can't do without us."
"Go over and talk to them now, and we will have to pay a huge price!"
"The gain outweighs the loss"
"We are not in a hurry to talk to them now, let's let them make suspicious guesses. If we don't talk to them for a day, there will be more pressure on them."
"We will talk to them about this matter after the Chinese New Year, which is a unique festival in China."
"In this way, we will have more initiative in our hands."
Haynes dragged out all his thoughts, and Connelly began to think about it. After a while, he slowly shook his head.
"Haines, your suggestion is very good, and I am also inclined to your suggestion deep in my heart."
"It's just that now the board of directors is unwilling to wait. If they don't get the news they want to hear, they will definitely put pressure on us."
"So, it would be better for you to go to China recently."
Connery knew very well that Haynes's suggestion was correct, but unfortunately, it was the board of directors who couldn't wait now. If the delay continued, the directors would probably lose their patience.
At that time, there was another unnecessary storm.
"Understood, I'll make arrangements and leave soon." After hearing Connery's words, Haynes understood what was going on. This matter must be done now, even if it costs a lot.
