"Okay, let's not talk about this issue today. I'm very happy to meet you compatriots. It's already four o'clock in the afternoon. Let's go. I want to fulfill my friendship as a landlord. Let's go have a meal together!"
Wan An is indeed very happy. Even though he has a high social status in the United States, in this white supremacist country, he has never been able to truly integrate into the upper class society. The other party also has various prejudices against him, including his subordinates.
, and sometimes feel dissatisfied with him for reusing his own son.
If your own company doesn’t use your own son, who can use it? When you retire, this company will belong to your son. This is only natural!
Because of the huge cultural differences, Wan An sometimes feels lonely. Today he met several compatriots from Hong Kong Island from the mainland. Even though they only met him by chance, the blood connection still made him feel more cordial.
Even more than those white subordinates who have followed him for decades.
Liu Lang never expected that he would meet the legendary old man Wan An today. According to the normal historical trajectory, in the next three years, he would experience ups and downs in life, from reaching the top to falling into hell in an instant.
.
As a Chinese, and a patriotic Chinese, he will definitely remind him to avoid making the same mistakes, but it doesn't seem easy. The other person is a determined person. In fact, the so-called firm-willed means stubbornness in a sense, and even
Paranoid, this quality can be seen in all successful people.
Some people may say that this kind of paranoia is a good quality and an indispensable condition for success. In fact, this is a wrong view, because these paranoia known to others have succeeded in the end, but there are countless people who
They failed because of their paranoia, but these people are not known to others.
Wan An is a paranoid person, and he has reasons to be paranoid, because he succeeded, right?
However, his success was a technical success, because he created a machine that could perform word processing. However, he lacked a keen vision for the future development of computers, and there was still a certain gap between him and those world-class entrepreneurs.
, if Wan'an is running a traditional industry, even if he misses the opportunity, as long as he can recognize his mistakes and rely on his big family and business, he may be able to turn it around after one or two years of transformation.
However, high-tech companies are different from traditional industries. Once they lag behind others in technology and do not change within a year, they can basically be said to be eliminated by the market. I don’t know how many such companies thought they were at their peak in the past.
, but with the emergence of a new technology, as long as their reaction is a little slower, the result will be either bankruptcy or acquisition. The most typical companies are the two mobile phone companies Nokia and Motorola, both of which were acquired by Apple during their most glorious period.
The company's smartphones were beaten.
What can be done to make this stubborn old man change his mind?
Liu Lang has no plans yet.
It was already past six o'clock when Liu Lang returned to the Olympic Village. Lu Mingzhi was a little angry when he saw Liu Lang coming back at this time.
"Liu Lang, you little guy is really shameless. You went out at around eight o'clock in the morning and didn't come back until now. This is not the country, this is the United States. Do you know that Americans have guns? What if something happens?
what to do?"
Lu Mingzhi said loudly that although Sun Hu and Mo Lan were protecting Liu Lang, it didn't matter whether you were a master or not, if you were hit by a gun, you would be dead.
"Director Lu, don't worry, as long as I'm here, Liu Lang won't have any problems!"
Mo Lan said coldly that she was not afraid of Lu Mingzhi, the director of the education committee.
"Aren't you afraid? Who is Liu Lang? They are talents cultivated by the country. If something happens, neither you nor I can bear the responsibility!"
Lu Mingzhi was not to be outdone.
"Grandpa Lu, don't be angry. This is my fault. If I go out again next time, I will come back early!"
Liu Langang quickly tried to dissuade the two of them.
"Xiao Liu Lang, it's not that Grandpa Lu is angry, it's that Grandpa Lu is worried about you! As long as you know you are wrong, correct it and don't go out for such a long time next time. Do you understand?"
Lu Mingzhi regarded Liu Lang as his own relative and only cared about the child.
"Well, don't worry, I get it!"
Liu Lang nodded.
"Okay, then go back and rest quickly!"
The competition is about to start in a week. Liu Lang has already planned not to go anywhere these days, but to study hard in the dormitory. He must win first place in the competition. This is the first time he has won.
The opponent's desire is not to compete for ranking, but to show those foreigners who look down on the Chinese that you self-righteous guys are nothing more than that.
However, early the next morning, someone still came to the door. It was not Huo Tianting and Mu Xiaohu, but Wan An's son Wan He.
"Liu Lang, I was in a hurry yesterday. After you left, my father specially asked me to buy a gift for you!"
Yesterday Huo Tianting gave the other party four Transformers models, and it seems that Wan An is here to return the favor.
Wan He took out an exquisite box from his pocket and handed it to Liu Lang.
"It's the gold watch again!"
Liu Lang almost stopped laughing. It seems that Chinese people have a special liking for such shiny gold watches. In Hong Kong Island, Huo Yingnan gave him a gold watch, and now Wanan gave him a gold watch. Even though it is worth a lot of money, but
This thing is of no use to me at all.
However, this can be regarded as the other party's intention. The price of a gold watch is much higher than that of four models.
"Brother Wan, thank you, and thank you Mr. Wan too!"
Liu Lang took the watch without any courtesy.
"Xiao Liu Lang, you said yesterday that personal computers are the future development trend of the computer industry. Do you have any reason?"
Wan He did not leave after delivering the gifts. Instead, he sat down and chatted with Liu Lang.
"It's simple! Because I like it!"
Liu Lang replied.
"Like it? What's the reason?"
The other party is puzzled.
"Haha, Brother Wan, as long as I like it, I will buy it. If I don't like it, I won't buy it. This is the most basic attribute of any product and the most important reason, don't you think so?"
Liu Lang smiled.
"Oh...! If you like it, buy it. If you don't like it, don't buy it. That's right! That's the truth!"
Wanhe reacted.
"Brother Wan, if the computers manufactured by Apple are put together with the computers produced by you, which one do you prefer?"
Liu Lang asked again.
"This...it's hard to say, it's hard to say!"
Wanhe did not answer directly.
"You can tell by the look on your face that Apple's computers are better. I think the same is true. For an ordinary family, they are not willing to put three bulky things on the table. Computers are meant to be convenient for people to use.
, naturally the simpler it is, the better!”
"Liu Lang, you are right, but I think price is still very important. Apple's computers are too expensive. Even ordinary companies, not to mention individuals, can't afford them. It's almost impossible to promote them!"
"Haha, Brother Wan, you underestimate the development of technology. Take thirty years ago as an example. How big were computers then? I'm afraid they couldn't fit in a room. Now they have shrunk to the size of a table. In the future,
What about your computer? You can probably just wear it on your hand like a watch!"
"Haha, Xiao Liu Lang, your imagination is too rich, it's impossible!"
"Impossible? I think a computer as thick as a book will appear in at least ten years. By then, people will put it in their schoolbags and carry it on their backs, and can take it out and use it anytime, anywhere. Do you believe it?
"
Liu Lang showed a "ferocious" look at this time, which made Wan He tremble all over.
"Why is Liu Lang's expression so similar to his father?"
Liu Lang changed from a "ferocious" look to a child in an instant, so much so that Wan He felt that it was his delusion.
