Chapter 1376 My Dream: Retire at 40
Although Lin Zheng said that the matter was not serious, how could it be not serious?
Although Lianchuang Technology is not destined to be split, and although Motorola is no longer the Motorola of the past, its influence in the military and political circles cannot be underestimated. In addition, ibm, which has been dealing with the government and senior congressional leaders for many years, can be said that this time is definitely the biggest threshold that ICQ and Lianchuang Technology have encountered so far!
Split? This kind of thing is definitely unacceptable to Lin Zheng. I am afraid no one can accept it. This matter is no longer something that Benier can do alone. Lin Zheng has to go to the United States to take charge and deal with all aspects. Lao Bei cannot handle it completely.
However, before leaving, what should be explained must be explained.
The first one is of course the senior management of the group. Lianchuang Technology is the base camp of IQ. During this period, there must be no accident in Lianchuang Technology.
"What? Americans are going to launch an antitrust investigation into IQ?"
The news that Lin Zheng broke out instantly detonated the entire conference room.
All the senior executives of the group attending the meeting were very frightened and anti-monopoly. Once the US judicial authorities identified that IQ had a monopoly behavior, the result faced by IQ was already destined: except for being split, there was no other way to go.
But can icq be split? Or, can Lianchuang Technology accept the situation of icq being split? Of course it is impossible! For the current Lianchuang Technology and IQ, both parties are a relationship between you and me and I have you, and no one can do without each other. In other words, without icq, Lianchuang Technology is equivalent to being cut off one arm and one leg.
The consequences are so serious.
Sun Yafang is worthy of being the future successor Lin Zheng chose. Unlike his other panicked colleagues, although her brows were also frowning, there was no sign of panic on her face.
This performance made Lin Zheng feel relieved. He thought that he would retire in another 10 years. Then he handed over the company to Sun Yafang. If the person he entrusted was a guy who was scared out of his courage when he heard the American name, it would not work. Now it seems that Sun Yafang has not disappointed him.
Of course, there is no need to express my wish now.
There was also Patrick Pichett, the chief financial officer of the group, and there was a hint of sarcasm on his face. Not only was she not scared by the news brought by her own ss, she looked extremely calm, which was really beyond Lin Zheng's expectations... Well, maybe she could also train him?
"Quiet!" Lin Zheng looked at the people in front of him with an extremely unpleasant face: "Look at what you all look like? Are Americans born with three heads and six arms, and speak according to their words. They can do whatever they want? Look at your promising prospects! If anyone thinks we are sure to lose, the best way out is to kneel down and beg Americans, then go out now. The company doesn't have such boneless soft balls!"
Lin Zheng said this very strongly. The faces of the "soft eggs" instantly turned red, and he wanted to have a crack on the ground to get into it: Indeed, the battle has not started yet. I am already scared. Which boss can accept that his subordinates are a group of such wine bags?
What? You said you are not a wine bag? You perform well on weekdays? Tell you that it is a weekday and can do your job well on weekdays, but at critical moments there are more bastards who lose their chains and get diarrhea. I don’t lack people like you.
However, Sun Yafang's eyes lit up, and she raised her voice and asked Lin Zheng: "Boss, we can still win this time, right?"
"We can get to this day with the swords and guns in our hands and work together with everyone, step by step to today, not by surrendering to our opponents and begging for mercy!" Lin Zheng nodded slightly to Sun Yafang with approval. Sure enough, he was worthy of being the one he chose: He said with a high voice: "We have gone from hard work to today, have we encountered fewer difficulties than today? Are the opponents we met weaker than today's Rui opponents? Since we were able to make a bloody path from the market, there is no problem now!"
Speaking of this, Lin Zheng paused. Then he continued: "Of course, speaking vernacular is useless and cannot solve any problem, but I can tell you why we won't lose! First of all, don't worry. There is not only icq online chat software similar to icq on the market. Our competitors are trying to investigate icq on the grounds that icq is suspected of monopoly, and this reason is simply untenable;
Second, we are not bullying. Over the years, IQ has deepened cooperation with many senior government officials, state legislators and members of Congress. There will be no situation where things are coming but no one can speak for us;
The last one, we have money. Although we are not as rich as ibm and Microsoft, and Motorola, are they willing to spend all their money on this matter? Obviously not! But for IQ, if we can't get through this level, we will face the fate of being split. Can they have our determination? I don't believe it," he slapped the table vigorously, and Lin Zheng said loudly: "Tell everyone that in order to win this relationship, IQ used PR costs up to 2 billion, and as long as there is a need, there will be additional additional limits."
A group of group executives who were still panicked just now were stunned by Lin Zheng's words. At the same time, their courage that was almost broken before was scared back to their bodies. They were only scared by the Americans' antitrust investigation into IQ and the serious consequences caused by this. But now, Lin Zheng's words made everyone recall: Yes, although IQ took away the largest piece of cake in the online live chat tool market, this does not mean that Lianchuang Technology has really monopolized it.
Of course, whether you monopolize or not is not up to you alone. For the sake of interests, if you don’t monopolize, you will monopolize it if someone says you monopolize it; even if you monopolize it, as long as you do a good job, it can still be interpreted as not monopolize it is not like that. Isn’t that what Microsoft is like?
But do we have no foundation in the United States? No, since that's the case, what else can we be afraid of? Have our company encountered fewer difficulties over the years? We have experienced fewer storms and waves since we have experienced fewer storms and waves. Haven't we also come step by step?
While a group of executives were talking enthusiastically about the possibility of a group turning defeat into victory, Lin Zheng received a note. The note was sent by Sun Yafang, with only one sentence on it: Is it really okay to rely on such a group of people?
Yes, just relying on such a person who almost scared because of a piece of news. Is it really okay?
What’s bad is that similar situations have happened not once or twice, not to mention the far, but to say the nearest. In the channel battle between Lianchuang Technology and Gome Electrical Appliances last year, the group of executives of the group were still vivid in their early stages. To put it bluntly, these guys have now lost the motivation to struggle and started to eat in a bare-headed manner. They just want to lie on the creditworthy side and enjoy all this with peace of mind, but they don’t think that the crisis is right in front of them. Once the crisis comes, they either panic or put all their hopes on Lin Zheng... If they want to rely on such a group of people to continue to compete with Western companies like wolves and tigers, can they bear this important task?
Sun Yafang was very suspicious about the answer to this question. In her view, who was ambitious and determined to prove herself, although Lianchuang Technology's current influence and strength are already very strong, it does not mean that the company can stop there. On the contrary, in her view, the prospects of the group are bright.
Lin Zheng didn't say anything, but in fact he had been thinking about this issue for a while.
Almost all of the group's senior executives are the ones who followed them to conquer the world. Now more than 10 years have passed, and everyone has achieved success and become successful people and the best people in the people's words. But now they have lost the fighting spirit of conquering the world and have truly become a group of rice insects. What is the significance of raising such a group of rice insects every year at such a great price?
That's right. Lin Zheng is a nostalgic person, but nostalgic does not mean that he has to take care of them no matter what they do. He can be their boss, their friend, their guide, and their helmsman. But he can't be their nanny.
Thinking of this, Lin Zheng finally made up his mind, looked up at Sun Yafang, wrote a few strokes, and then pushed it to Sun Yafang.
Seeing the four words "not time" on the note, Sun Yafang smiled slightly. Then folded the note and put it in her pocket: She was very satisfied with Boss' answer, which shows that Boss has not lost his ambition and has realized the seriousness of the problem, which is very good.
Lin Zheng originally intended to hold this meeting to hope that everyone would work together and not be able to take advantage of others during the period when he left the country. However, the meeting will be held to this point, which made Lin Zheng a little disappointed. He did not mention the things he had prepared, but made a decision in an attitude that would not allow his subordinates to argue: Tan Na and Sun Yafang were fully responsible for the problems during the period when he was away.
In other words, Lin Zheng handed over Lianchuang Technology to Tan Na and Sun Yafang.
In theory, with the convenient consultation method nowadays, Lin Zheng actually does not need to do this. He can command remotely in the United States and can also achieve real-time control of the company. However, there is a problem that must be considered, that is, the time difference.
If there is something, Lin Zheng needs to make a decision immediately. It is night in the United States at this moment, or Lin Zheng is visiting an extremely important guest, and no one can disturb him in the middle. What should I do? Should I just wait and watch and miss the opportunity? Of course, this is not possible.
Although Lin Zheng can remotely control some things about the company in the United States, when necessary, there must be someone who can make decisions in real time.
After the conference, Lin Zheng held a small meeting with Tan Na, Sun Yafang, and Patrick Pichet in his own office. At this conference, Lin Zheng's decision was implemented.
After talking about his arrangements for leaving the country for the period of time, Sun Yafang immediately asked: "Boss, this matter is very important. Do you still have to greet the big guys of the top?"
"Of course I have to say hello," Lin Zheng responded, spread his hands and said, "Now, maybe the news has been received from the top, right? Maybe they are waiting for me to speak."
"That's right," heard Lin Zheng say this, Sun Yafang and others laughed, and Sun Yafang even solemnly said to Lin Zheng. Tan Na said: "Boss, don't worry, Patrick and I must be optimistic about the company during your absence, and we will never be bullied."
Patrick Piche nodded and said to Lin Zheng in a slightly weird tone: "Boss, don't worry about finances. With me here, there will definitely be no problems."
"I have nothing to worry about you two," Lin Zheng changed the subject and said to Sun Yafang: "During my absence, if you find that there are good talents, you can promote what you should promote, and don't have too many concerns."
At first glance, this sentence was to grant Sun Yafang the "Shangfang Sword" of the administration, and seemed to tell Sun Yafang: During my absence, some "old" guys in the company dared not to listen to hello and always kept making trouble because of their qualifications. You should clean up and do not have any worries. But Sun Yafang heard another meaning in this sentence: the leader is instructing himself to cultivate his own direct power.
This is the first time Lin Zheng has clearly sent Sun Yafang the signal that "you are the company's future successor." Previously, although Lin Zheng also expressed the idea of cultivating Sun Yafang into a successor, the hints looked vague and puzzled. They were somewhat like the carrot hanging in front of a donkey. But now, this carrot is no longer a carrot that can only be seen but not eaten.
Sun Yafang was shocked by Lin Zheng's words and quickly said to Lin Zheng and Tan Na: "Boss, I..."
"I am planning to retire at most at the age of 50. It would be even better if I could retire at the age of 40. Over the years, Xiaona and I have been together for a long time. I promised her to accompany her to every corner of the world for the rest of my life. I wouldn't be able to do it if I'm too poor," Lin Zheng raised his hand to interrupt Sun Yafang, held Tan Na's hand with his backhand, and said to Sun Yafang with a smile: "Next year, next year at the latest, President Tan and I will withdraw from the company's daily management work and are only responsible for the general direction of the company. Manager Yafang, you must be mentally prepared."
Tan Na smiled and said, "Yafang, let me first say that if you can't do this president and CEO well, we will change people."
After Tan Na finished speaking, Lin Zheng turned to Patrick Pichet and said: "Old Pi, your personality is not suitable for being the helmsman of a company, but you are a natural financial director. I hope you can help Manager Yafang well in the future and help her manage the company well... In the next few years, the company's shares will be adjusted again. If you do more, you will get more."
