She shook her head and smiled, then got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, "Emilia, tell Holly to take someone to Tianyi. Candidates from the entertainment company will be interviewed in the afternoon, and Tianyi will be interviewed first. In addition, Motorola has become a thing of the past. Send a notice
Each branch, Motorola officially changed its name to Umbrella Tianyi American Branch." Guo Yongren said directly, Emilia went to work.
After breakfast, Guo Yongren took Leo and rushed to Tianyi Company. Now, Motorola's big logo has been removed, and Tianyi's logo is already being produced. Soon, all kinds of logos will be replaced with Tianyi's logo.
At least the beginning of the internal document has begun to change. The Chicago government has accepted the name change and will approve it soon. By then everything will fall into place.
In the chairman's office on the top floor, Guo Yongren, Leo, and Dr. Crest were all there. "Grace, please come to Bill," Guo Yongren said directly. Grace went out and the interview officially began.
Yesterday, after Holly introduced Bill's situation, Guo Yongren paid attention to this person. The three of them drank tea and waited. Both Leo and Dr. Crest had seen Bill's information and knew that it was a person.
A master and full of hope.
Soon, Grace came in with a tall white man. "Chairman, this is Mr. Bill." Grace made an introduction. Guo Yongren stood up and shook hands with Bill, and everyone sat down.
"Bill, I have a piece of information here. You can take a look. There are two answers below. You can choose one." After Guo Yongren finished speaking, he winked at Dr. Crest, and Dr. Crest handed it to
Bill was given a document, and Bill took it and began to read it.
This information is an overview of Tianyi's US branch. The following choices are about the price of wireless phones. One is Kreider's point of view, dumping at low prices and quickly occupying the market. The other is Guo Yongren's point of view.
Maintain high profits.
After reading it, Bill put down the document and said, "Chairman, I would like to ask a few questions." Bill asked, and Guo Yongren made a gesture of invitation.
"Are there any competitors to our product currently?" Bill asked.
"No, it can be said that all the wireless phone patents produced around the world are in our hands, including those in Europe. As long as we are willing, a complaint can make them disappear from the market," Guo Yongren said directly.
Bill smiled, "I can't figure out why you set two answers. Based on the situation you mentioned, it's obvious that we must maintain high profits," Bill said with certainty.
"What's your reason?" Guo Yongren asked
"It's very simple. Since we have obtained so many patents, don't these patents cost money? Don't those research expenses cost money? Wait, we have invested so much and we must take it back. What will we do without profit?
Enterprise, if there is no profit, how can we retain R&D personnel? Research funds are very expensive," Bill said affirmatively.
Guo Yongren nodded, "Mr. Bill, I think you should have an understanding of Umbrella Tianyi, which is Motorola. What made you decide to come to this company?" Guo Yongren asked.
"It's very simple. First, the salary is very good. Second, the company's development prospects are very good. Wireless communication will replace wired communication is an inevitable trend. Third, I like companies with prospects." Bill said three points casually.
After hearing this, Guo Yongren nodded and looked at Leo and Dr. Crest, which meant that I had finished asking questions and it was your turn. The two took turns and started asking Bill questions. Bill answered fluently and humorously.
Although I am quite satisfied, I still need to go through the process. The remaining one, Guo Yongren, also needs to meet. The other one is called Watson, who is also a senior talent in Korn Ferry's internal review.
Watson, 48 years old, is the deputy general manager of Hill Communications Company in France. He came to the United States through Korn Ferry International specifically and is very optimistic about Tianyi's future.
The communications industry in Europe is currently in a brutal fight. As the deputy general manager, Watson discovered a very serious problem. Patent authorization. It can be said that all wireless communication phones produced in Europe are infringing. This discovery caused Watson to
Jump.
Watson was very clear about the power of patent law. Through various relationships, Watson figured out what was going on here. All the patents were actually in the hands of the umbrella company Tianyi, which made Watson confused.
He began to think about this issue. After thinking about it, Watson broke out in a cold sweat. He figured out why Tianyi, the umbrella company, did not enter the European market. He began to hold a meeting and proposed that Tianyi must obtain authorization from Tianyi.
The board of directors also realized the problem Watson mentioned. No fool knows the power of patent law. It is good that Tianyi, the umbrella company, did not sue. Once sued, the company will face huge compensation for patent infringement, which is very disadvantageous.
He directly sent someone to negotiate with Tianyi about patent licensing. However, Tianyi would not license it to external parties for the time being. This was decided by the board of directors. There was no other way, so he returned to France.
The relationship between the general manager and Watson is very bad. He thinks Watson is a bit unfounded. With so many companies, can he protect them all? Not to mention the existence of antitrust laws. With the efforts of the general manager, this matter has been solved.
The matter was put on hold, and Watson had no choice.
The head of Korn Ferry's French branch had a good relationship with Watson. When the two had a drink again, they talked about the recruitment of a general manager for the umbrella company Motorola. Watson felt that this was his opportunity, because Watson didn't
I believe that if you hold the umbrella of patents and turn a blind eye to the situation in Europe, there must be some kind of plan.
Watson clearly felt that this was his opportunity. Through the French branch of Korn Ferry, he contacted the U.S. headquarters and then came to Motorola, or to the Umbrella Tianyi Company.
After Watson told all these things, Guo Yongren and Dr. Crest looked at each other and laughed. This is a shrewd man and a very discerning man. However, Watson did not
He is suitable to be the general manager of the company, but there is no problem in being the deputy general manager.
Guo Yongren and the others discussed in the room and asked Grace to call Bill and Watson. "Gentlemen, we have an idea. Mr. Bill's position is general manager, and Mr. Watson's position is deputy director."
General manager, I don’t know what your opinions are. Of course, if you agree, there will be a two-month trial period. After two months, we will sign a formal contract. What do you think?" Guo Yongren announced his decision.
"Mr. Guo, I would like to ask, how much authority does the general manager have and how much funding will the headquarters support?" Bill looked at Guo Yongren and asked.
"It's very simple. The headquarters doesn't care what you do in the company. How much money you need depends on you. As long as you have a suitable reason to convince me, money is not a problem. Our umbrella group is short of everything except money." Guo Yongren looked at
Bill said domineeringly.
Bill smiled, this chairman is interesting. His previous company needed the board of directors to allocate some money, and he needed to spend a few days talking about it. This one is better, as long as the reason is right, he will allocate money directly, which is domineering enough.
"I have no objection," Bill said with a smile, and Watson also had no objection. His goal was to enter the Umbrella Sky Wing, and now he has achieved his goal.
"Very good, this Dr. Crest is an old man from Tianyi Company and is also the deputy general manager. If you have anything you don't know, you can ask Dr. Crest. After all, the doctor is the first general manager of our Tianyi Company."
Guo Yongren said with a smile.
Dr. Crest smiled bitterly, "Don't listen to the boss. It's true that I am the first general manager, but I am not a qualified manager, so I took the initiative to hand over the manager. Technology is my job.
Strengths," Dr. Krest said with a smile.
Bill and Watson both smiled. It can be seen that the relationship between the headquarters management is very harmonious. "This is Lawyer Leo. In the Americas, all legal documents for the umbrella must be reviewed by the legal department in charge of Lawyer Leo."
, you can only sign it, and you have great rights," Guo Yongren introduced.
Leo smiled and shook hands with the two of them, and they were acquainted. "When can you join the company? Because there are very important plans to be carried out here in the American branch, so you need to join the company soon," Guo Yongren said directly.
"I need a week to deal with things at home," Watson said seriously,
"I need four days," Bill also said. He also had some things to deal with.
"Okay, you can get an internal information from Dr. Crest later. You can read it during this period, but it is not allowed to be shared. He will officially join the job in a week." Guo Yongren said directly, and the two nodded and agreed.
Come down.
Guo Yongren arranged for Grace to send the two of them away, and at the same time let Holly come in. "Holly, Bill and Watson are all staying. They are very good," Guo Yongren said directly.
"Of course, they are all top talents," Holly said with a smile, and Guo Yongren also smiled.
"It's noon. Let's go have dinner together. There are three people we have to meet in the afternoon," Guo Yongren said directly. Leo and the others nodded and left the office together.
The place to eat was found by Dr. Krest. It was a very good restaurant. It was a local snake. He knew where to find delicious food. Several of them had a great meal. They agreed to meet at Guo Yongren's chairman's office at two o'clock in the afternoon.
.
Guo Yongren went directly to the office to rest. He felt that this place was better than that old hotel. Guo Yongren went directly to the lounge to rest for a while. Finally, Amelia woke Guo Yongren up and it was time.
Guo Yongren got up to wash up. Amelia had already made tea. Soon, Leo and Dr. Crest came over. The three of them began to drink tea slowly. After a short time, Amelia came over to report.
