Chapter 432 However, this has nothing to do with Gu Ao (repair)
Everyone thinks that the key node of Ah Nyu's dispute lies with both Ah Nyu's side itself.
Little do they know that the most troublesome decision-making storm and the point that needs to be held accountable is in the United States, Watsonton, and the Oval Office of the White House, thousands of miles away.
"Soul is light! Who asked you to guide the people in Galtiri to make trouble and fight back against Azuo? Now that the trouble is so big, even the New Zealanders are implicated! It's really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple!"
The President just secretly supported the Argentinians on the special line and gave them peace of mind.
However, as soon as the phone was hung up, the President changed his face and began to scold his subordinates for their incompetence.
From Secretary Schultz to Advisor William Clark, everyone felt the pressure.
"Mr. President, it was indeed a bit reckless when we were verifying external strategies and authorizing the CIA. The review was a bit reckless. The decision was too hasty at the time, and the alternative to allowing front-line personnel to 'go cheap' seemed to be clear enough, so this situation..." Secretary Schultz apologized tactfully.
In contrast, William Clark, who is slightly more concerned about his own affairs, speaks more sinister: "I think the cause of the matter is the loophole in the cross-censorship system - the same principle as the "eavesdropping" solution passed before the Watergate incident ten years ago."
When Clark mentioned the Watergate incident, the President's face turned green and he glared fiercely.
Although the president knew that it was not his fault, because the plan for the problem was provided by Schultz's staff.
Schultz resisted the unhappiness and explained humbly: "The thing has happened. Fortunately, the Brittans and the New Zealanders did not know that it was caused by our negligence. This matter was forced to be suppressed by the prestige of the United States on the grounds of "preventing the spread of the Soviet Union and the left." He forced the New Zealanders to admit that the mute loss was lost.
At the same time, we really need to reflect on whether giving so many ambiguous cheap instructions to act will bring greater systemic risks..."
Schultz was so regretful at this time.
He knew completely that if he was not so anxious to show his "foresight" in front of the president, and had just received the trick Kissinger gave him, he would have to fill in the "Party B's running plan" the next day and present it to the president for showing off, he would have had time to slowly make the middle and worst plan of running with the runners more perfect.
Unfortunately, he was greedy for the timeliness of making contributions.
He wanted to prove his prophetic level in front of the president.
His staff also worked hard, did bad things with good intentions, and mixed up some unspoken plans that were not explicit enough - Schultz reviewed the incident later. It is said that his staff were greedy for ease of trouble and directly copied some discarded drafts of graduate students led by Kissinger and Jordanian Crown Prince Abdullah.
This matter must be beyond Kissinger's head, because the plan that Kissinger formally submitted to Schultz did not include these contents. Kissinger left evidence himself.
I have told you not to copy homework. You still copied it or copied it wrongly. You can't blame the person who threw the homework draft.
The most terrifying thing is that there are too many single-line contacts in this way until the executive level - the Secretary of State's plan, which was not implemented by the Secretary of State after the president accepted.
Overseas support and troublemaking are done by people from CIA.
The advantage of a single-line connection is that once a traitor appears, or a certain link is caught by the enemy, the scope of the leak will be as small as possible.
But the disadvantage is that once there is a distortion during the transmission process, it is difficult to trace and discover it in time - because this is not allowed to report beyond the level. It cannot be said that the section chief thinks the instructions given to him by the director are a bit strange, so he crosses the director and asks the director directly.
Compared with mesh structures, the fault tolerance rate of single-line connections is too low.
Low error tolerance, hasty decisions and hands-on actions, and you have to copy homework if you don’t want to copy, and it’s a high probability that you will have problems.
After the president finally found out, Secretary Schultz made a minor mistake - after all, he helped the president quickly solve Grenada and also killed the risk of Azuo being infiltrated by Russians.
It’s just that the medicine is too strong and does not pay attention to the harmony between the monarch and his subjects, so there are some side effects. But the side effects are the pain. The Americans hold it accountable internally, and they will not let go if they bite it to death. They will be arrogant.
William Clark is considered a minor achievement and has worked diligently at the executive level.
The whitest one is the Kitsian forces, because whenever something happens to Schultz, the president will definitely find out the truth and will naturally easily find that "the two most perfect plans A are provided by Kissinger", and "the two sets of plans B and C that accompany the run are all troubles when Schultz's staff make up the numbers."
In this way, it will be even more wise prophets of the Gristian school.
But Schultz can't hate Kissinger, he can only hate his aides for being unsuccessful. You have beaten up Kissinger's good cards to you.
In late November, Kissinger was summoned to the White House by the president again. He was heartbroken and "poor to the front seat in the middle of the night". After asking about the strategy for a long time, he seemed to want to ask all the prescriptions for curing the "Nixon Three-State Disease".
The specific conversation was a state secret of the United States, so of course I don’t know it here.
In the end, Kissinger didn't want to come out again and wade into the muddy waters and refused.
I also left a point of view: You are an actor-born president and have not had enough political experience. You cannot give up the "three-strategic disease" during your term of office.
The subtext is: the actors and presidents lack their own opinions and judgment experience, so they should listen more. I know that people like you cannot just listen to one side and cannot change it, so I don’t want to serve you directly, so I won’t be thankless.
Of course, the subtext means that it cannot be explained explicitly, and the other party can slowly understand it.
Another impact of this incident on Watsonton was that several assistants of Secretary Schultz were fired after a while. However, the layman must not understand the correlation here, so he would not explain it.
...
Everything that happened outside seemed to have nothing to do with Gu Ao.
What is Gu Ao doing when the White House is in a turbulent situation?
He was summarizing his business experience with his confidants - the confidants here mainly include Shulhoff, the president of Tiankun United States, and several other unknown supporting roles (including Shi Yuzhu).
Everyone reviewed the promotion experience of Tiankun home appliances in the Japanese market in the first two months, and saw what is worth learning from by the US market department.
At least, consultant William Clark, Gu Ao was really doing this when he came to visit.
On that day, in the Gu Mansion villa on the banks of the Potomac River, in the sunroom in the backyard, Gu Ao recruited his subordinates from San Francisco, holding tea parties and tasting wine and discussing business. Who made him too busy to walk away? He had to let the horsemen fly more people in the air.
"…So, what has our successful promotion experience proved?"
After Gu Ao showed the data from his Japanese peers, he asked inspirationally.
"It means that the advertising effect of popular and hype promotion is very good. Also, in the decisive stage of market expansion, the advertising intensity must be enough to make a desperate bet. Although Atari is finished, it does not mean that its marketing strategy when promoting ET is wrong.
ET's crushing defeat is the blame for Atari's technical department, and even the bad management and improper win over the technical department, which has nothing to do with marketing. We should discuss things on the matter, not the right thing to the person. We can't think that they are wrong in everything just because Atari is finished, at least marketing promotion is correct." Shi Yuzhu was the first to answer.
He has been unable to do anything for more than a year and has no choice but to be a leader in his marketing tactical factions. He was suppressed by Shurhof and Gu Ao and could only be an executive team and had no decision-making power at all.
Gu Ao shared with him the successful experience of his Japanese peers at this moment, and of course he was not convinced. He was thinking, "If the United States does not do anything to hype, I can succeed."
After hearing Shi Yuzhu's summary of his experience, Gu Ao was not in a hurry to dampen his enthusiasm. Instead, he raised his chin and signaled Shurhof to answer: "Shurhof, what do you think?"
Schulhoff was about to answer, but the doorbell of Gu Ao's family rang.
Gu Ao signaled the bodyguard to open the door, then asked a few questions before putting a visitor in.
"Are you... Consultant William Clark?" Gu Ao glanced at the visitor and recognized him.
The other party bowed to him humbly, with a look of gratitude, but when he saw the guests, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "Gu, I already know from Professor Kissinger. Today I'm here to thank you very much, and I didn't disturb your business."
Gu Ao smiled and looked around at his subordinates: "If you can guarantee that you will not talk about the business secrets of our company, you can listen to our experience discussions and chat with you later when I'm free."
William Clark was a little embarrassed: "Will this not be inconvenient?"
Gu Ao: "It's nothing. I think business experience is both good. Maybe you can give us some advice."
William Clark refused but then joined the tea party. A bodyguard poured him a cup of whiskey with green tea - because Watson was very cold in November and could not drink it with ice.
After doing all this, Gu Ao signaled Shulhoff to continue expressing his opinion.
Schulhoff was obviously much more talented than Shi Yuzhu, and he had enough time to interrupt thinking just now, so he carefully analyzed:
"I think the biggest feature of this successful promotion in Japan is that it has achieved a promotion from soft to hard, which is very different from the advertising trend of Atari that year. During the Atari period, the promotion of game consoles was completed in the past few years, and the shipment can be continued by rolling in inertia alone.
When they invested heavily in promoting a specific game cassette, they just hoped that "the people who have already bought the Atari 2600 game console would buy as much as possible."
In other words, Atari has a gap in internal resource integration and promotion performance appraisal. The game cassette promotion department is unwilling to benefit its own budget by the game console department unless the other party shares the promotion budget expenses with them.
Tiankun (Japan)'s tactics this time were obviously focused on promoting the first-party game "Future Warrior", and then promoting the sales of the game console, and the linkage between the two was very thorough. This success, I think, provides us with an inspiration for ideas-
In the future, there will be hardware technology iterations in game consoles. Will it be better to build a first-party game with enough market dominance in the year of iteration and devote enough resources to stack resources on the performance of the host hardware, and the overall market effect will be better than just relying on the host hardware performance?"
When Schulkhof said this, there was basically nothing to add, so he returned the right to say to the boss.
Gu Ao nodded secretly.
It is already great to have an outsider attending the audience, and be able to avoid stage fright and not say what shouldn’t be said.
The rest is not necessary to make it too clear in front of William Clark.
Chapter completed!
