Chapter 525 Unexpected American Visitors
In the quiet cafe, Jing Jian and Wang Guobin were chatting and laughing easily. Wang Guobin came earlier than he said in advance, so they found this place and chatted about the interesting things after they parted.
"...My nephew has already regarded you as an idol and said he will also study in Jingda, Hua and Tsinghua in the future. Then my parents, my elder brother and sister-in-law took it seriously, so the boy cried every day."
"Haha, how are you doing? When will you prepare to get married?"
"It's soon, it's soon..."
While talking and laughing, Jing Jian finally asked the topic: "Guobin, tell me what you think. We brothers have nothing to say."
Wang Guobin smiled and raised his coffee cup: "I want to go home to help, and I also want to get married. I already know about Agui's affairs. His and Brother Kai's roads are not suitable for me. I won't say those pretentious words, I will still be in trouble with the small hardware outlets at home in the future. This time, I and the relatives at home are going to go together."
When Jing Jian heard that Wang Guobin had made up his mind, he stopped persuading him. He couldn't say that the customs in Wang Guobin were all very aggressive, but they also liked to be their bosses, liked to be their family, and didn't like to work for others.
But although Jing Jian understood, he couldn't help but feel a little sad: "Then I won't persuade you. Alas! Agui doesn't know whereabouts now, and you are also ready to go your own way. I will ask Afei to find you, Skeleton Sea model, inject capital into your family, not controlling shareholders, and as a long-term supplier of Skeleton Sea. Also, Dajiang Daily Chemical's shares are 8%. Don't refuse, you and your relatives have worked hard even if they have no credit. Let's talk about it first, who can take over Dajiang? Is there a recommended candidate?"
"There is a man named Qiu Zerui. The factory he is in charge of is the best. He was originally the deputy director of Yangcheng Daily Chemical. He also came with me this time. Are you interested in meeting him?"
"Yes, if it's convenient, now..."
“…”
Everyone has their own favorite path, and Wang Guobin chose to start a family business. Waiting for the sad emotions to pass, Jing Jian felt a little happy again. Anyway, people like Wang Guobin, Zhou Mei, and Liu Kai are always much better than their previous life experiences, right?
Jing Jian also stayed at the White Swan Hotel. After saying goodbye to Wang Guobin, he returned to the hotel to rest, and even asked the waiter to send dinner to his room. However, when the waiter came to the room to collect the tableware, the waiter suddenly said: "Mr. Jing, there are two American guests looking for you. This is the note they left behind."
"Hmm?" Jing Jian opened the note, "Wang An's computer? Why did you suddenly come to me?"
With curiosity, Jing Jian made an appointment with the two Wang An Computer guests to meet at the coffee shop. If we say that now, there may be very few people who know Wang An Computer. However, in those days, Wang An Computer had a prominent reputation. Let’s say one thing! He beat IBM up! Especially Mr. Wang An, the founder of the company, at the most glorious moment of that year, he once became the fifth on the American Rich List with US$2 billion, and was also the richest Chinese. He was also the American Inventors Hall of Fame. It can be said that high technology has created the wealth myth of Chinese elites starting from scratch!
However, in his previous life, when Jing Jian became rich, Wang An's computer had long disappeared, and it became a piece of history because of bankruptcy. The reason why Jing Jianhui was impressed was because this bankruptcy case was a classic case in business science. Jing Jian and a group of senior executives studied and analyzed it in depth, and took it as a warning.
Let me briefly introduce how Wang An computer made a successful career. I won’t introduce more. Let me introduce how he turned from prosperity to decline:
In the late 1980s, Mr. Wang An suffered from a terminal illness, but he was superstitious about his family inheritance. He ignored the opposition of other members of the board of directors and insisted on letting his son Wang Lie become the new chairman of the company. However, his previous misjudgment of the rise of PC, Wang An's stubborn opinion in his later years, and the challenges of new companies such as Apple, sadly met Wang Lie, a member of the A Dou club. Needless to say, he suffered consecutive losses and gradually became difficult to recover.
Under such circumstances, Wang An announced his removal from Wang Lie's position while critically ill, and invited business expert Edward Miller. Although Miller frequently used financial tricks and even reduced the company's debt from US$575 million to US$12 million. However, Miller's fatal flaw is that he did not understand the development of high-tech and could not develop and market new products in a timely manner, which finally caused Wang An's computer to fall into a cliff. In February 1992, two years after Mr. Wang An's death, this once giant high-tech company applied for bankruptcy protection.
Therefore, Mr. Wang An's self-conservative attitude in his later years, coupled with his nepotism and family management methods, was the reason for the disappearance of this company.
...
However, even so, Jing Jian was a little puzzled. Why did they come to find themselves? If we calculate the time, it should be that Wang An’s computer has entered the countdown to bankruptcy. He has no skills and cannot invest, so there is no reason to find himself?
It should be noted here that many people should know that in history, the strategic alliance between Microsoft and IBM, and now Jing Jian is not only a major shareholder of Microsoft, but also has formed a strategic alliance with Microsoft. It can be seen that Wang An Computer has become the enemy of the Jing Jian Alliance. Even if it is not a fall insult, at least he hopes that he will go bankrupt as soon as possible?
Maybe some people can't understand why they can't bet on both ends? The answer is...yes. If Jing Jian is willing to be a venture capitalist and strategic investor like Sequoia Investment or SoftBank, you can invest in both hostile parties. Anyway, you get a B-level equity, and you don't pursue management and management rights at all, but pursue a sharp rise in stock prices.
However, Jing Jian is no longer short of money. What he pursues is power and voice. Therefore, he can only join one party and eliminate all the enemies.
"Hello, Mr. Bramble. This is Mr. Wang Lie, and I am John Chambers,"
"It's an honor to meet you. Mr. Wang, Mr. Chambers!"
While shaking hands enthusiastically, Jing Jian secretly looked at the deputy named "Champers". In fact, his heart was already full of "Jing Zhilai". This John Chambers is also a great man. He will take charge of Cisco in the future and has become the global overlord of network solution suppliers. It was not until a bag company that is still selling telephone switches in South Bay that launched a challenge, which led Cisco from the altar.
Jing Jian was secretly amused in his heart: "This is simply a rhythm of encountering a powerful person if he is not careful? I never expected that Chambers is still working on Wang An Computer now?"
