Chapter 225 Influence Fermentation

In the big conference room

All the M&A receivers from the West Coast and the original middle and senior managers above the managerial level attended the meeting. There were more than 130 people sitting in the large conference room, which showed that the original enterprise organization was bloated and overstaffed.

After the original chairman Mr. Miller stepped down, there was still a vacancy for the new head.

No one expected that at the meeting, the big boss Wang Yaocheng would introduce a CEO that everyone knew but was unexpected, Chambers, who used to be the regional sales manager.

Now, many people are not calm. Many senior executives here were once Chambers’ bosses.

Wang Yaocheng glanced at the surprised expressions of everyone, and felt a sense of joy in his heart;

The game has become more fun, and I just like watching you look confused but helpless.

To be honest, I peeked at the trump card.

As a young man, Chambers earned business and law degrees from West Virginia University and an MBA from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business.

After graduation, he started working at IBM. In 1983, he applied to Wang An Computer Company to be responsible for sales in Asia. He was familiar with the user situation in Asia and was a very capable and outstanding leader.

After nine years of working at Wang An Computer Company, he was greatly disappointed by the company's development, especially the stupidity of his boss Wang Lie, which made Chambers lose the last trace of his illusion.

Unable to see the future, Chambers joined Cisco in 1991, a small company with more than 300 people and annual sales of tens of millions of dollars.

If history had not changed, Chambers would have served as CEO of Cisco in 1995, leading the company to grow and develop, with its highest market value reaching US$440 billion.

What is regrettable is that Wang Yaocheng cut off Hu again. This is not the first time this guy has done something like this.

His business philosophy is:

Instead of working hard to run a company, it is better to find an excellent leader.

Facts have proved that it really makes sense.

Red Hat under Qi Yafei's management is prospering day by day.

The wafer production base led by President Zhang Rujing has developed smoothly, and the production yield rate has increased step by step, reaching a high level of 86.5%.

Dong Mingzhu leads the Pacific Home Appliances chain store to expand its territory across the country and is unstoppable.

Under the leadership of Zhu Jianghong, Green Electric's production and sales are both booming. In the first quarter of this year, the production and sales of air conditioners ranked first in the country. Small household appliances have been highly recognized by the market, and production and sales are booming.

Pacific Company President Mo Yuxuan’s focus is on promoting the Carrefour supermarket chain, which has gradually opened up in coastal and central provinces and is accelerating its nationwide distribution.

Fan Qingyun, manager of Pacific Electronics Computer Company, after the Shenzhen Electronics Market completed its hot investment promotion, copied the successful experience of the Shenzhen City and went north to Yanjing City to build the Zhongguancun Electronics Market again.

Yu Chengde has fully intervened in the management of Cathay Pacific Airways, HAECO and Swire Pacific, and the acquired companies are entering a healthy development track.

There are various signs that successful experiences can be replicated.

At Atlantic Business Machines Company, Wang Yaocheng's trump card was Chambers. He had a deep affection for the company, knew everything from production to sales, and could get into the swing of things immediately.

He is familiar with every executive here, eliminating the process of familiarity. Chambers is familiar with their talents, temperament, and management style, and can integrate the company as quickly as possible and quickly embark on a healthy development track.

Wang Yaocheng believes that if there is anyone in the world who can bring the company out of the abyss the fastest, it must be Chambers.

snort!

Without this talent, Chambers would not be worthy of the title of "the best manager in the world."

Of course, Chambers has not yet received this lofty honor.

in the conference room

Wang Yaocheng's domineering style was once again reflected, eliminating the need for discussion and directly setting the tone for corporate culture:

With innovation as the core, we are committed to developing electronic products that lead the trend of the times.

Taking quality as our life, we are committed to creating high-quality products with leading international standards.

Based on customers, we are committed to creating a corporate culture that truly listens to customer experience.

With development as the goal, we are committed to building an excellent multinational company with international competitiveness.

Content can be added, but never reduced.

When the big boss Wang Yaocheng left the corporate headquarters in a car and handed the stage to Chambers, everyone stood at the window of the conference room and watched the motorcade leave, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.

"Okay, our demanding boss has left. Let's sit down and talk about how to achieve the boss's requirements? This is our urgent task."

Chambers' words woke everyone up. They were all professionals in the workplace and would not ask silly questions about why you should be a CEO. They quickly fell into their roles.

"The first thing we need to do is to clarify the responsibilities and authorities of each department and cut off unnecessary transition links. Our decision-making efficiency is too slow and cannot meet the boss's requirements.

If we want to realize the planned blueprint, change starts from now, starts from you and me,

Guys, you have to be mentally prepared for big changes in the organization, let's get started..."

On the wide Interstate 2

A group of four Chevrolet SUVs drove quickly to the airport. Wang Yaocheng sat quietly in the back seat, sorting out recent work.

After giving everyone chicken soup for their souls, he left, leaving the stage to Chambers.

If Wang Yaocheng continues to stay at Business Machines Corporation, Chambers will be unable to do anything and will become a hindrance.

Wang Yaocheng is very self-aware and can brag, but he fully accepts the management of the company.

Haha...no chance.

He has neither the energy nor the time nor the ability to manage a large high-tech enterprise.

If you insist on getting started, you will almost be the second Wang Lie.

So, the passionate "porch speech" is just bragging.

To be honest, there is indeed some element of that, but it is not a complete bragging. Wang Yaocheng poured enough chicken soup for everyone's soul and boosted morale. It is the best choice to leave the business management to professionals.

Wang Yaocheng possesses the aura of a successful person, has sufficient financial resources, and is a hot high-tech leader in Silicon Valley. He has a lot of chicken soup for his soul, enough means to seduce outstanding talents, and delicious bait.

People know;

Beautiful women love shiny jewelry, scientists’ biggest wish is to publish professional papers in top journals, and dogs like to lick poop. So what does an excellent manager need?

You need a huge stage to show your talents, you need a challenging job, you need an opportunity to prove your worth, you need to prove that you are great.

Bingo, the answer is correct.

When the headhunting company found Chambers and offered him the precious opportunity to realize everything he had dreamed of, Chambers immediately handed in his resignation letter and took the earliest flight to Los Angeles despite the efforts of the chairman of Cisco to stay.

At the headquarters of Red Hat, Wang Yaocheng had a long talk with Chambers in a hypocritical manner. After various tests, various attempts to win over and make wishes, he flattened and rounded the management guru, and finally released this trump card.

Atlantic Business Machines must be controlled by an outstanding operating guru, and Chambers is such a candidate.

Managing and controlling large multinational companies requires extensive work experience, familiarity with the entire process from product development to production, product sales channels, global customer psychology, etc. It is by no means an easy task.

An outstanding CEO of a multinational enterprise must be tempered by working in many positions in the enterprise from the low-level to the middle-level to the top. It takes time to accumulate and become familiar with everything.

He is like an army commander, directing various departments to attack together to form a joint force, so as to exert the greatest combat effectiveness.

Have a thorough understanding of product quality, production quantity, and equipment performance of the factory assembly line.

I know what kind of products consumers in Brazil need, I understand the consumer psychology of Hong Kong people, and I also know why products that are popular in France are not popular in the UK.

You need to get to know the managers of each department, the bad-tempered professionals in the R&D center, the excellent managers in the production workshop, the channel personnel who promote the market...

You also need to understand your competitors, have a forward-looking view of technological development trends, and deal with politicians, civil rights groups, labor unions, legal proceedings and a lot of troubles in the upper class...

To be honest, Wang Yaocheng can't do it.

The American news media's pervasiveness is by no means a cover-up. In the evening, the local television station and the Evening News in Boston reported on the "Porch Speech" and ridiculed it in the program;

host;



Well, I listened to this recording again with my audience friends in front of the TV, and I still felt very shocked. To be honest, the boss king is very instigating. Let us ask the guests for their opinions.

Guest a;

Hahaha……

Please forgive my gaffe, I am really surprised that the boss king has the courage to try different things, but the harsh reality will soon teach him a lesson;

Boy, you are not the illegitimate son of Zeus.

Guest b;

Let me add something here, running a multinational company is different from selling software. They are two completely different fields. The guy at a used car repair shop can sell hot dogs, but he cannot go to Stanford to be a professor. This is the reason.

The host interrupted them;

According to the latest news, the new CEO of Atlantic Business Machines is Mr. Chambers, a former sales executive. Do the guests have any impressions of this person? Can you share your views?

Guest a;

Oh my god! Handing over a multinational company to a salesperson completely disillusioned me about the company. I don't think highly of them. This combination is so funny.

Guest b;

According to my experience of more than 30 years in the industry, this is undoubtedly a bad decision. There are more than 3 million salespeople in the United States, but there are not that many multinational companies.

oh……

Here, I would like to take the liberty to make a self-recommendation;

Boss Mr. Wang, I have worked in three quite good companies and served as the CEO of two companies. I will definitely do better than Mr. Chambers. I am the right choice. Please consider it, boss Mr. Wang.



The host once again interrupted guest b’s self-recommendation;

Let’s bring the topic back to the “porch speech” and now ask other guests to share their views.

Guest c;

Listening to this speech made me think about it. We know how inflated a person becomes when he wins the lottery.

Po Hard, a 55-year-old cook from Diamond Township, Virginia, bought some Powerball lottery tickets at a gas station convenience store. Well, this was a lucky guy. He won the first prize of US$13 million.

Many people know the following story. The cook Pohard divorced his wife immediately, received the lottery ticket behind her back, and then started his absurd life.

A girl with a killer figure, a beautiful big yacht, a fun nightclub, and a life of excitement, but he doesn't care about his three children and his wife who has lived with him for 27 years.

As a result, many people knew that Pohad was involved in more than 20 lawsuits, squandered all his property in less than two years, contracted XX disease, and almost died.

host;

Oh, I understand what the guests mean, and I think the audience in front of the TV understands it too, especially the story that guest C told us that happened around us, seems to be insinuating something.

Guest C panicked;

No, no, no... the story I told is not aimed at anyone at all, nor does it insinuate anyone. I don't want to cause trouble, and the boss king's legal team is not easy to mess with.

The host continued to stir up trouble;

As a news media, we have the right to report the truth. We are now discussing Boss King’s impromptu porch speech outside Boston. Several guests were unanimously not optimistic about Boss King’s move.

Guest C’s point of view is very interesting. It seems to imply that the boss king will also die like the 55-year-old cook Pohad, which makes us look forward to it even more.

Guest C waved his hands desperately; I want to emphasize...

The other two guests laughed;

"Stop defending, man, that's what you mean."

"Congratulations! You will most likely receive a lawyer's letter from little Montgomery. Wow, that's a big shot."

"A big man who runs errands for the boss king. Money is so omnipotent. The American dream realized by the boss king shows us that everything is possible."

"Man, you are too harsh. Little Montgomery is a lawyer after all! He can't live by breathing air, and someone here has given him another business, okay! I hope he didn't hear us."

Hahaha……

Guest A and Guest B looked at each other and smiled, ambiguous and obscene, and very happy in a cheap way.

They were very happy to step on the hot billionaire boss king, and seeing the guests who participated in the interview were unlucky only intensified their mentality of not being afraid of big troubles, so they laughed quite happily.

The TV screen showed pictures instead of videos. The boss king was an entrepreneur with huge wealth, not a star in the entertainment industry. Video materials were really hard to find.

The only footage of the TV interview is owned by the relevant TV station and cannot be broadcast without permission.

Therefore, the local Boston TV station editors and reporters could only find some pictures to supplement the number.

The main thing is that after Wang Yaocheng lost the right to speak in Netscape, he walked in the streets of Los Angeles with a lonely look. The photo seems to be very suitable for the possible unlucky situation in the future, and caters to the psychology of the gourmet people.

The bar at night is bustling with people.

The TV set hanging above the bar was playing a special news report, the core content of which was the "Porch Speech" in the suburbs of Boston.

"Wow, cool! I like the boss king's confidence."

"Atlantic Business Machines sounds great and I would like to join this company if given the opportunity."

"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, man. You didn't listen to the guest analysis on the TV station. This is a farce and it will definitely end in the end."

"Those media? Boss King is right, they are just talking nonsense."

"I think Boss King is really rich... 1.8 billion US dollars, I can't imagine how big a number this is."

"Stop being crazy, Bichi"

"You stinky bitch, how dare you call me, fuck"

The two women grabbed their hair and started fighting, and the bar immediately fell into chaos. The men watching the excitement were shouting and yelling, swallowing big gulps of barley beer, and laughing.

The explosive news of the "Porch Speech" was quickly reprinted and reported by the three major ABC TV news networks and numerous print media. It was like a whirlwind blowing across the entire North America, and its influence gradually spread to the world...
