The office building of Lianxiang Headquarters is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
Strings of colorful balloons and latte art were hung in the large conference room, adding to the festive atmosphere.
The New Year tea party is being held.
But there was no joy on the faces of those present.
Dozens of executives looked at Yanagawa and Ni Guangnan silently.
"Whether the R&D center can handle it or not, I must give me a clear answer today. If not, I will resign!" Ni Guangnan stared at Yanagawa Shi with a firm attitude.
It is Ni Guangnan’s biggest dream to establish a R&D center, develop photolithography machines and chips, and master core technologies in the field of microelectronics.
He is willing to do whatever it takes to realize his dream.
"Mr. Ni, today is New Year's Day. If you act like this, the atmosphere of this tea party will be..." Yang Yuanqing forced a smile and tried to persuade Ni Guangnan to calm down.
"The tea party is also a meeting. Everyone happens to be here. Let's settle this matter." Ni Guangnan made up his mind to general Yanagawa Shi's army at the tea party.
Chen Hao called last night and said that the microelectronics design and R&D center in Xiangjiang was in full swing. All kinds of equipment and technical data had arrived, and he was waiting for him to make a decision.
If it were anyone else, he might just walk away and get a million-dollar annual salary to realize his ideals and ambitions, but he has feelings for Lianxiang and believes that Lianxiang, which has been established for ten years and is backed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is more qualified to promote domestic scientific and technological progress.
Haoxiang is just starting out and doesn’t have enough background.
Yanagawa Shi slowly peeled off the orange peel and lowered his head to eat the orange with an expressionless face.
"Mr. Liu..."
Ni Guangnan still wants to say.
Yanagawa raised his hand to stop Ni Guangnan, frowning and said: "Old Ni, everyone has heard what you said dozens and hundreds of times, and we are about to come into contact with international giants. The top priority is to reduce costs, seize the market, and survive. There is no way
I’ll give you so much money to burn.”
Just today, the official depreciated the exchange rate at one time, creating favorable conditions for the mainland to become the world's factory.
But if we want to export a large amount of goods to continental Europe and country m, we have to open up some domestic markets.
Shi Yanagawa has learned that many international car manufacturing giants will build factories in the mainland in the form of joint ventures, and a handful of domestic car brands will be affected.
The same is true in the computer field.
IBM was approved to set up an operations center in Zhongzhou and build a factory in Shencheng.
This is a signal for senior management to let go of the computer field.
In the past, the domestic computer market was officially protected and left entirely to Founder, Great Wall, and Lianhe. Starting from this year, such a good thing will no longer exist.
Yanagawa Shi does not want to invest money in a research and development center that will have no short-term profits at this time.
"Lianxiang is a national enterprise, not yours!"
Ni Guangnan looked around at the people present and said: "You are not only executives of Lianheiang, but also pillars and talents of the country. You should understand my good intentions and support me, please raise your hands!"
Some young executives who graduated from prestigious schools looked at Yang Yuanqing.
Yang Yuanqing, who is only 30 years old, has publicly agreed with Mr. Ni many times before, believing that Lianxiang must master core technologies to avoid being controlled by others.
Yang Yuanqing is also a core figure of the Lianxiang Shaozhuang sect.
If Yang Yuanqing supports Ni Guangnan, Ni Guangnan will be able to compete with Yanagawa Shi.
"Xiao Yang, you came from a computer major and understand how important technology is. I believe you will make the right choice." Ni Guangnan stared at Yang Yuanqing.
He regarded Yang Yuanqing as his "disciple", whom he trusted and respected.
After a heart-to-heart conversation last night, he firmly believed that Yang Yuanqing would support him.
Yanagawa Zhi also looked at Yang Yuanqing, but said nothing.
At this moment, the conference room was extremely quiet.
"I......"
Yang Yuanqing first glanced at Yanagawa Shi, and then said to Ni Guangnan: "Mr. Ni, I hope that Lianxiang will unite with the outside world and work together with one heart and one mind."
Ni Guangnan was stunned for a moment.
Others present immediately understood who Yang Yuanqing supported.
The person he trusted the most turned against him at the critical moment, which made Mr. Ni heartbroken. Then he looked at others.
No one raised their hands to support Mr. Ni.
Yanagawa Zhi smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup and drank tea.
"It turns out that I am the redundant person here. In that case, I'm leaving." Mr. Ni was completely disappointed and left the conference table sadly.
This time, Yanagawa didn't say a word, not even a symbolic attempt to persuade him to stay.
From the moment Ni Guangnan reported Yanagawa Shi's problem to the top management, the two were already bitter rivals, and it seemed too hypocritical to pretend to retain him.
Ni Guangnan walked out of the building, turned around and looked at the four characters "Lianxiang Group" with tears in his eyes.
Linkage.
This name is related to him.
Ten years ago, he took the lead in developing the LX-80 Chinese character graphics microcomputer system.
Later, he brought this system to the computer company co-founded by Yanagawa Shi and ten researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. From then on, the computer company was renamed Lianxiang Group.
In his eyes, Lianxiang is equal to his child.
"Yanagawa Shi, I want to see what Lian Xiang will become in your hands."
Ni Guangnan murmured and shed two tears.
He took out the mobile phone from his briefcase, took a deep breath, calmed down, dialed a number, and said: "Xiao Chen, I will complete the resignation procedures in a day or two."
Inside the building.
conference room.
"Since it's a New Year's tea party, the atmosphere can't be too dull. Let's talk about something happy. Xiao Yang will become the general manager of the Microcomputer Division. The official appointment will be made after the New Year's Day holiday."
Yanagawa Shi's words surprised many people, and they suddenly realized it.
They finally understood why Yang Yuanqing, who also belonged to the "technical school" and had a good relationship with Mr. Ni, chose to defect at the critical moment.
The Computer Division is the core department of Lenovo Group and the foundation of Lenovo.
Being the top leader in this department means that you will probably control the entire relationship in the future.
The water flows downward.
People go to higher places.
It's natural.
Switching positions with Yang Yuanqing, they would choose the same way.
The world is prosperous, and everyone is here for profit.
The world is full of hustle and bustle, all for the benefit of others.
What touches people's hearts the most is interests, not identical ideals.
Mr. Ni understands technology, but does not understand people's hearts, so he is doomed to be eliminated.
The tea party is over.
Yang Yuanqing came to Yanagawa Shi's office.
"sit......"
Yanagawa Shi greeted Yang Yuanqing.
Yang Yuanqing sat down.
Yanagawa personally poured a cup of tea for Yang Yuanqing and said with a smile: "Your decision is correct. It is for the good of Lianhe. Don't have any psychological burden."
Yang Yuanqing nodded.
Yanagawa Shi added: "As far as I know, the reason why Ni Guangnan is so eager to show off with me is because a company named Haoxiang wants to set up a microelectronics technology research and development center and hire him with a high salary."
"I've also heard about this. I know about the Haoxiang Group. It was founded half a year ago and mainly operates supermarkets and home appliance hypermarkets." Yang Yuanqing mentioned Haoxiang's main business and smiled.
"hehe......"
Yanagawa Zhi also laughed out loud.
Obviously, the two of them did not take Haoxiang seriously and felt that Ni Guangnan was seeking medical treatment indiscriminately due to his sudden illness.
"Drink tea."
Yanagawa Shi smiled and picked up the tea cup.
Yang Yuanqing held the tea cup with both hands to show respect.
The two of them drank the tea in one gulp, as if celebrating a victory.
